The
Westminster Confession of Faith

Agreed upon by the Assembly of
Divines at Westminster London, England:
Examined and approved, Anno 1647, by the General Assembly of
the Church of Scotland;
and ratified by the Acts of Parliament 1649 and 1690.a

1.1 Although
the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so
far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men
unexcusable;(1)
yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of
His will, which is necessary unto salvation.(2)
Therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in divers
manners, to reveal Himself, and to declare that His will unto His
Church;(3)
and afterwards for the better preserving and propagating of the
truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the Church
against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan and of
the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing;(4)
which makes the Holy Scripture to be most necessary;(5)
those former ways of God's revealing His will unto His people being
now ceased.(6)

All which are given by inspiration of God to be the rule
of faith and life.(7)

1.3
The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine
inspiration, are no part of the canon of the Scripture, and
therefore are of no authority in the Church of God, nor to be any
otherwise approved, or made use of, than other human writings.(8)

1.4
The authority of the Holy Scripture,
for which it ought to be believed, and obeyed, depends not upon the
testimony of any man, or Church; but wholly upon God (who is truth
itself) the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received,
because it is the Word of God.(9)

1.5
We may be moved and induced by the
testimony of the Church to an high and reverent esteem of the Holy
Scripture.(10)
And the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine,
the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of
the whole (which is, to give all glory to God), the full discovery
it makes of the only way of man's salvation, the many other
incomparable excellencies, and the entire perfection thereof, are
arguments whereby it does abundantly evidence itself to be the Word
of God: yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of
the infallible truth and divine authority thereof, is from the
inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word
in our hearts.(11)

1.6
The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own
glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down
in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced
from Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added,
whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men.(12)
Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit
of God to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things
as are revealed in the Word:(13)
and that there are some circumstances concerning the worship of God,
and government of the Church, common to human actions and societies,
which are to be ordered by the light of nature, and Christian
prudence, according to the general rules of the Word, which are
always to be observed.(14)

1.7
All things in Scripture are not alike
plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all:(15)
yet those things which are necessary to be known, believed, and
observed for salvation are so clearly propounded, and opened in some
place of Scripture or other, that not only the learned, but the
unlearned, in a due use of the ordinary means, may attain unto a
sufficient understanding of them.(16)

1.8
The Old Testament in Hebrew (which
was the native language of the people of God of old), and the New
Testament in Greek (which, at the time of the writing of it, was
most generally known to the nations), being immediately inspired by
God, and, by His singular care and providence, kept pure in all
ages, are therefore authentical;(17)
so as, in all controversies of religion, the Church is finally to
appeal unto them.(18)
But, because these original tongues are not known to all the people
of God, who have right unto, and interest in the Scriptures, and are
commanded, in the fear of God, to read and search them,(19)
therefore they are to be translated in to the vulgar language of
every nation unto which they come,(20)
that, the Word of God dwelling plentifully in all, they may worship
Him in an acceptable manner;(21)
and, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, may have hope.(22)

1.9
The infallible rule of interpretation
of Scripture is the Scripture itself: and therefore, when there is a
question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is
not manifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other
places that speak more clearly.(23)

1.10
The supreme judge by which all
controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of
councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private
spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest,
can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture.(24)

Chapter 2

Of God, and of the Holy Trinity

2.1
There is but one only,(25)
living, and true God,(26)
who is infinite in being and perfection,(27)
a most pure spirit,(28)
invisible,(29)
without body, parts,(30)
or passions;(31)
immutable,(32)
immense,(33)
eternal,(34)
incomprehensible,(35)
almighty,(36)
most wise,(37)
most holy,(38)
most free,(39)
most absolute;(40)
working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and
most righteous will,(41)
for His own glory;(42)
most loving,(43)
gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth,
forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin;(44)
the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him;(45)
and withal, most just, and terrible in His judgments,(46)
hating all sin,(47)
and who will by no means clear the guilty.(48)

2.2
God has all life,(49)
glory,(50)
goodness,(51)
blessedness,(52)
in and of Himself; and is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient,
not standing in need of any creatures which He has made,(53)
nor deriving any glory from them,(54)
but only manifesting His own glory in, by, unto, and upon them. He
is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to
whom are all things;(55)
and has most sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them,
or upon them whatsoever Himself pleases.(56)
In His sight all things are open and manifest,(57)
His knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the
creature,(58)
so as nothing is to Him contingent, or uncertain.(59)
He is most holy in all His counsels, in all His works, and in all
His commands.(60)
To Him is due from angels and men, and every other creature,
whatsoever worship, service, or obedience He is pleased to require
of them.(61)

2.3
In the unity of the Godhead there be
three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity: God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost:(62)
the Father is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding; the Son is
eternally begotten of the Father;(63)
the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.(64)

Chapter 3

Of God's Eternal Decree

3.1
God from all eternity, did, by the
most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeable
ordain whatsoever comes to pass;(65)
yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin,(66)nor
is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty
or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established.(67)

3.2
Although God knows whatsoever may or
can come to pass upon all supposed conditions;(68)
yet has He not decreed anything because He foresaw it as future, or
as that which would come to pass upon such conditions.(69)

3.3
By the decree of God, for the
manifestation of His glory, some men and angels(70)
are predestinated unto everlasting life; and others foreordained to
everlasting death.(71)

3.4
These angels and men, thus
predestinated, and foreordained, are particularly and unchangeably
designed, and their number so certain and definite, that it cannot
be either increased or diminished.(72)

3.5
Those of mankind that are
predestinated unto life, God, before the foundation of the world was
laid, according to His eternal and immutable purpose, and the secret
counsel and good pleasure of His will, has chosen, in Christ, unto
everlasting glory,(73)
out of His mere free grace and love, without any foresight of faith,
or good works, or perseverance in either of them, or any other thing
in the creature, as conditions, or causes moving Him thereunto;(74)
and all to the praise of His glorious grace.(75)

3.6
As God has appointed the elect unto
glory, so has He, by the eternal and most free purpose of His will,
foreordained all the means thereunto. Wherefore, they who are
elected, being fallen in Adam, are redeemed by Christ,(76)
are effectually called unto faith in Christ by His Spirit working in
due season, are justified, adopted, sanctified,(77)
and kept by His power, through faith, unto salvation.(78)
Neither are any other redeemed by Christ, effectually called,
justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but the elect only.(79)

3.7
The rest of mankind God was pleased,
according to the unsearchable counsel of His own will, whereby He
extends or withholds mercy, as He pleases, for the glory of His
sovereign power over His creatures, to pass by; and to ordain them
to dishonor and wrath for their sin, to the praised of His glorious
justice.(80)

3.8
The doctrine of this high mystery of predestination is to be handled
with special prudence and care,(81)
that men, attending the will of God revealed in His Word, and
yielding obedience thereunto, may, from the certainty of their
effectual vocation, be assured of their eternal election.(82)
So shall this doctrine afford matter of praise, reverence, and
admiration of God;(83)
and of humility, diligence, and abundant consolation to all that
sincerely obey the Gospel.(84)

Chapter 4

Of Creation

4.1
It pleased God the Father, Son, and
Holy Ghost,(85)
for the manifestation of the glory of His eternal power, wisdom, and
goodness,(86)
in the beginning, to create, or make of nothing, the world, and all
things therein whether visible or invisible, in the space of six
days; and all very good.(87)

4.2 After God had made all other
creatures, He created man, male and female,(88)
with reasonable and immortal souls,(89)
endued with knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness, after His
own image;(90)
having the law of God written in their hearts,(91)
and power to fulfil it;(92)
and yet under a possibility of transgressing, being left to the
liberty of their own will, which was subject unto change.(93)
Beside this law written in their hearts, they received a command,
not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil;(94)
which while they kept, they were happy in their communion with God,
and had dominion over the creatures.(95)

Chapter 5

Of Providence

5.1
God the great Creator of all things
does uphold,(96)
direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things,(97)
from the greatest even to the least,(98)
by His most wise and holy providence,(99)
according to His infallible foreknowledge,(100)
and the free and immutable counsel of His own will,(101)
to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness,
and mercy.(102)

5.2
Although, in relation to the
foreknowledge and decree of God, the first Cause, all things come to
pass immutably, and infallibly;(103)
yet, by the same providence, He orders them to fall out, according
to the nature of second causes, either necessarily, freely, or
contingently.(104)

5.3
God, in His ordinary providence,
makes use of means,(105)
yet is free to work without,(106)
above,(107)
and against them,(108)
at His pleasure.

5.4
The almighty power, unsearchable
wisdom, and infinite goodness of God so far manifest themselves in
His providence, that it extends itself even to the first fall, and
all other sins of angels and men;(109)
and that not by a bare permission,(110)
but such as has joined with it a most wise and powerful bounding,(111)
and otherwise ordering, and governing of them, in a manifold
dispensation, to His own holy ends;(112)
yet so, as the sinfulness thereof proceeds only from the creature,
and not from God, who, being most holy and righteous, neither is nor
can be the author or approver of sin.(113)

5.5
The most wise, righteous, and
gracious God does oftentimes leave, for a season, His own children
to manifold temptations, and the corruption of their own hearts, to
chastise them for their former sins, or to discover unto them the
hidden strength of corruption and deceitfulness of their hearts,
that they may be humbled;(114)
and, to raise them to a more close and constant dependence for their
support upon Himself, and to make them more watchful against all
future occasions of sin, and for sundry other just and holy ends.(115)

5.6
As for those wicked and ungodly men
whom God, as a righteous Judge, for former sins, does blind and
harden,(116)
from them He not only withholds His grace whereby they might have
been enlightened in their understandings, and wrought upon in their
hearts;(117)
but sometimes also withdraws the gifts which they had,(118)
and exposes them to such objects as their corruption makes occasion
of sin;(119)
and, withal, gives them over to their own lusts, the temptations of
the world, and the power of Satan,(120)
whereby it comes to pass that they harden themselves, even under
those means which God uses for the softening of others.(121)

5.7
As the providence of God does, in general, reach to all creatures;
so, after a most special manner, it takes care of His Church, and
disposes all things to the good thereof.(122)

Chapter 6

Of the Fall of Man, of Sin, and
the Punishment thereof

6.1
.Our first parents, being seduced by
the subtilty and temptations of Satan, sinned, in eating the
forbidden fruit.(123)
This their sin, God was pleased, according to His wise and holy
counsel, to permit, having purposed to order it to His own glory.(124)

6.2
By this sin they fell from their
original righteousness and communion, with God,(125)
and so became dead in sin,(126)
and wholly defiled in all the parts and faculties of soul and body.(127)

6.3
They being the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin was
imputed;(128)
and the same death in sin, and corrupted nature, conveyed to all
their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation.(129)

6.4
From this original corruption,
whereby we are utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to
all good,(130)
and wholly inclined to all evil,(131)
do proceed all actual transgressions.(132)

6.5
This corruption of nature, during
this life, does remain in those that are regenerated;(133)
and although it be, through Christ, pardoned, and mortified; yet
both itself, and all the motions thereof, are truly and properly
sin.(134)

6.6
Every sin, both original and actual,
being a transgression of the righteous law of God, and contrary
thereunto,(135)
does in its own nature, bring guilt upon the sinner,(136)
whereby he is bound over to the wrath of God,(137)
and curse of the law,(138)
and so made subject to death,(139)
with all miseries spiritual,(140)
temporal,(141)
and eternal.(142)

Chapter 7

Of God's Covenant with Man

7.1
The distance between God and the
creature is go great, that although reasonable creatures do owe
obedience unto Him as their Creator, yet they could never have any
fruition of Him as their blessedness and reward, but by some
voluntary condescension on God's part, which He has been pleased to
express by way of covenant.(143)

7.2
The first covenant made with man was
a covenant of works,(144)
wherein life was promised to Adam; and in him to his posterity,(145)
upon condition of perfect and personal obedience.(146)

7.3
Man, by his fall, having made himself
incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord was pleased to make a
second,(147)
commonly called the covenant of grace; wherein He freely offers unto
sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ; requiring of them faith
in Him, that they may be saved,(148)
and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto eternal
life His Holy Spirit, to make them willing, and able to believe.(149)

7.4
This covenant of grace is frequently
set forth in scripture by the name of a testament, in reference to
the death of Jesus Christ the Testator, and to the everlasting
inheritance, with all things belonging to it, therein bequeathed.(150)

7.5
This covenant was differently
administered in the time of the law, and in the time of the Gospel:(151)
under the law it was administered by promises, prophecies,
sacrifices, circumcision, the paschal lamb, and other types and
ordinances delivered to the people of the Jews, all foresignifying
Christ to come;(152)
which were, for that time, sufficient and efficacious, through the
operation of the Spirit, to instruct and build up the elect in faith
in the promised Messiah,(153)
by whom they had full remission of sins, and eternal salvation; and
is called the Old Testament.(154)

7.6
Under the Gospel, when Christ, the
substance,(155)
was exhibited, the ordinances in which this covenant is dispensed
are the preaching of the Word, and the administration of the
sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper:(156)
which, though fewer in number, and administered with more
simplicity, and less outward glory, yet, in them, it is held forth
in more fullness, evidence, and spiritual efficacy,(157)
to all nations, both Jews and Gentiles;(158)
and is called the New Testament.(159)
There are not therefore two covenants of grace, differing in
substance, but one and the same, under various dispensations.(160)

Chapter 8

Of Christ the Mediator

8.1
It pleased God, in His eternal
purpose, to choose and ordain the Lord Jesus, His only begotten Son,
to be the Mediator between God and man,(161)
the Prophet,(162)
Priest,(163)
and King,(164)
the Head and Savior of His Church,(165)
the Heir of all things,(166)
and Judge of the world:(167)
unto whom He did from all eternity give a people, to be His seed,(168)
and to be by Him in time redeemed, called, justified, sanctified,
and glorified.(169)

8.2
The Son of God, the second person of
the Trinity, being very and eternal God, of one substance and equal
with the Father, did, when the fullness of time was come, take upon
Him man's nature,(170)
with all the essential properties, and common infirmities thereof,
yet without sin;(171)
being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the
virgin Mary, of her substance.(172)
So that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures, the Godhead and
the manhood, were inseparably joined together in one person, without
conversion, composition, or confusion.(173)
Which person is very God, and very man, yet one Christ, the only
Mediator between God and man.(174)

8.3
The Lord Jesus, in His human nature
thus united to the divine, was sanctified, and anointed with the
Holy Spirit, above measure,(175)
having in Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge;(176)
in whom it pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell;(177)
to the end that, being holy, harmless, undefiled, and full of grace
and truth,(178)
He might be thoroughly furnished to execute the office of a Mediator
and Surety.(179)
Which office He took not unto Himself, but was thereunto called by
His Father,(180)
who put all power and judgment into His hand, and gave Him
commandment to execute the same.(181)

8.4
This office the Lord Jesus did most
willingly undertake;(182)
which that He might discharge, He was made under the law,(183)
and did perfectly fulfil it;(184)
endured most grievous torments immediately in His soul,(185)
and most painful sufferings in His body;(186)
was crucified, and died,(187)
was buried, and remained under the power of death, yet saw no
corruption.(188)
On the third day He arose from the dead,(189)
with the same body in which He suffered,(190)
with which also he ascended into heaven, and there sits at the right
hand of His Father,(191)
making intercession,(192)
and shall return, to judge men and angels, at the end of the world.(193)

8.5
The Lord Jesus, by His perfect
obedience, and sacrifice of Himself, which He through the eternal
Spirit, once offered up unto God, has fully satisfied the justice of
His Father;(194)
and purchased, not only reconciliation, but an everlasting
inheritance in the kingdom of heaven, for those whom the Father has
given unto Him.(195)

8.6
Although the work of redemption was
not actually wrought by Christ till after His incarnation, yet the
virtue, efficacy, and benefits thereof were communicated unto the
elect, in all ages successively from the beginning of the world, in
and by those promises, types, and sacrifices, wherein He was
revealed, and signified to be the seed of the woman which should
bruise the serpent's head; and the Lamb slain from the beginning of
the world; being yesterday and today the same, and forever.(196)

8.7
Christ, in the work of mediation,
acts according to both natures, by each nature doing that which is
proper to itself;(197)
yet, by reason of the unity of the person, that which is proper to
one nature is sometimes in Scripture attributed to the person
denominated by the other nature.(198)

8.8
To all those for whom Christ has
purchased redemption, He does certainly and effectually apply and
communicate the same;(199)
making intercession for them,(200)
and revealing unto them, in and by the word, the mysteries of
salvation;(201)
effectually persuading them by His Spirit to believe and obey, and
governing their hearts by His word and Spirit;(202)
overcoming all their enemies by His almighty power and wisdom, in
such manner, and ways, as are most consonant to His wonderful and
unsearchable dispensation.(203)

Chapter 9

Of Free Will

9.1
God has endued the will of man with
that natural liberty, that is neither forced, nor, by any absolute
necessity of nature, determined good, or evil.(204)

9.2
Man, in his state of innocency, had
freedom, and power to will and to do that which was good and well
pleasing to God;(205)
but yet, mutably, so that he might fall from it.(206)

9.3
Man, by his fall into a state of sin,
has wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual good
accompanying salvation:(207)
so as, a natural man, being altogether averse from that good,(208)
and dead in sin,(209)
is not able, by his own strength, to convert himself, or to prepare
himself thereunto.(210)

9.4
When God converts a sinner, and
translates him into the state of grace, He frees him from his
natural bondage under sin;(211)
and, by His grace alone, enables him freely to will and to do that
which is spiritually good;(212)
yet so, as that by reason of his remaining corruption, he does not
perfectly, or only, will that which is good, but does also will that
which is evil.(213)

9.5
The will of man is made perfectly and
immutably free to do good alone in the state of glory only.(214)

______________

Chapter 10

Of Effectual Calling

10.1
All those whom God hath predestinated
unto life, and those only, He is pleased, in His appointed time,
effectually to call,(215)
by His Word and Spirit,(216)
out of that state of sin and death, in which they are by nature to
grace and salvation, by Jesus Christ;(217)
enlightening their minds spiritually and savingly to understand the
things of God,(218)
taking away their heart of stone, and giving unto them an heart of
flesh;(219)
renewing their wills, and, by His almighty power, determining them
to that which is good,(220)
and effectually drawing them to Jesus Christ:(221)
yet so, as they come most freely, being made willing by His grace.(222)

10.2
This effectual call is of God's free
and special grace alone, not from anything at all foreseen in man,(223)
who is altogether passive therein, until, being quickened and
renewed by the Holy Spirit,(224)
he is thereby enabled to answer this call, and to embrace the grace
offered and conveyed in it.(225)

10.3
Elect infants, dying in infancy, are
regenerated, and saved by Christ, through the Spirit,(226)
who works when, and where, and how He pleases:(227)
so also are all other elect persons who are incapable of being
outwardly called by the ministry of the Word.(228)

10.4
Others, not elected, although they
may be called by the ministry of the Word,(229)
and may have some common operations of the Spirit,(230)
yet they never truly come unto Christ, and therefore cannot be
saved:(231)
much less can men, not professing the Christian religion, be saved
in any other way whatsoever, be they never so diligent to frame
their lives according to the light of nature, and the laws of that
religion they do profess.(232)
And to assert and maintain that they may, is very pernicious, and to
be detested.(233)

Chapter 11

Of Justification

11.1
Those whom God effectually calls, He
also freely justifies;(234)
not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their
sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as righteous;
not for any thing wrought in them, or done by them, but for Christ's
sake alone; nor by imputing faith itself, the act of believing, or
any other evangelical obedience to them, as their righteousness; but
by imputing the obedience and satisfaction of Christ unto them,(235)
they receiving and resting on Him and His righteousness by faith;
which faith they have not of themselves, it is the gift of God.(236)

11.2
Faith, thus receiving and resting on
Christ and His righteousness, is the alone instrument of
justification:(237)
yet is it not alone in the person justified, but is ever accompanied
with all other saving graces, and is no dead faith, but works by
love.(238)

11.3
Christ, by His obedience and death,
did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified,
and did make a proper, real and full satisfaction to His Father's
justice in their behalf.(239)
Yet, in as much as He was given by the Father for them;(240)
and His obedience and satisfaction accepted in their stead;(241)
and both, freely, not for any thing in them; their justification is
only of free grace;(242)
that both the exact justice, and rich grace of God might be
glorified in the justification of sinners.(243)

11.4
God did, from all eternity, decree to
justify all the elect,(244)
and Christ did, in the fullness of time, die for their sins, and
rise again for their justification:(245)
nevertheless, they are not justified, until the Holy Spirit does, in
due time, actually apply Christ unto them.(246)

11.5
God does continue to forgive the sins
of those that are justified;(247)
and although they can never fall from the sate of justification,(248)
yet they may, by their sins, fall under God's fatherly displeasure,
and not have the light of His countenance restored unto them, until
they humble themselves, confess their sins, beg pardon, and renew
their faith and repentance.(249)

11.6
The justification of believers under
the Old Testament was, in all these respects, one and the same with
the justification of believers under the New Testament.(250)

Chapter 12

Of Adoption

12.1
All those that are justified, God vouchsafes, in and for His only
Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption,(251)
by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and
privileges of the children of God,(252)
have His name put upon them,(253)
receive the spirit of adoption,(254)
have access to the throne of grace with boldness,(255)
are enabled to cry, Abba, Father,(256)
are pitied,(257)
protected,(258)
provided for,(259)
and chastened by Him as by a Father:(260)
yet never cast off,(261)
but sealed to the day of redemption;(262)
and inherit the promises,(263)
as heirs of everlasting salvation.(264)

Chapter 13

Of Sanctification

13.1
They, who are once effectually
called, and regenerated, having a new heart, and a new spirit
created in them, are further sanctified, really and personally,
through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection,(265)
by His Word and Spirit dwelling in them:(266)
the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed,(267)
and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and
mortified;(268)
and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving
graces,(269)
to the practice of true holiness, without which no man shall see the
Lord.(270)

13.2
This sanctification is throughout, in the whole man;(271)
yet imperfect in this life, there abiding still some remnants of
corruption in every part;(272)
whence arises a continual and irreconcilable war, the flesh lusting
against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.(273)

13.3
In which war, although the remaining
corruption, for a time, may much prevail;(274)
yet, through the continual supply of strength from the sanctifying
Spirit of Christ, the regenerate part does overcome;(275)
and so, the saints grow in grace,(276)
perfecting holiness in the fear of God.(277)

Chapter 14

Of Saving Faith

14.1
The grace of faith, whereby the elect
are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls,(278)
is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts,(279)
and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word,(280)
by which also, and by the administration of the sacraments, and
prayer, it is increased and strengthened.(281)

14.2
By this faith, a Christian believes
to be true whatsoever is revealed in the Word, for the authority of
God Himself speaking therein;(282)
and acts differently upon that which each particular passage thereof
contains; yielding obedience to the commands,(283)trembling
at the threatenings,(284)
and embracing the promises of God for this life, and that which is
to come.(285)
But the principal acts of saving faith are accepting, receiving, and
resting upon Christ alone for justification, sanctification, and
eternal life, by virtue of the covenant of grace.(286)

14.3
This faith is different in degrees, weak or strong;(287)
may be often and many ways assailed, and weakened, but gets the
victory:(288)
growing up in many to the attainment of a full assurance, through
Christ,(289)
who is both the author and finisher of our faith.(290)

______________

Chapter 15

Of Repentance unto Life

15.1
Repentance unto life is an
evangelical grace,(291)
the doctrine whereof is to be preached by every minister of the
Gospel, as well as that of faith in Christ.(292)

15.2
By it, a sinner, out of the sight and
sense not only of the danger, but also of the filthiness and
odiousness of his sins, as contrary to the holy nature, and
righteous law of God; and upon the apprehension of His mercy in
Christ to such as are penitent, so grieves for, and hates his sins,
as to turn from them all unto God,(293)
purposing and endeavouring to walk with Him in all the ways of His
commandments.(294)

15.3
Although repentance is not to be
rested in, as any satisfaction for sin, or any cause of the pardon
thereof,(295)
which is the act of God's free grace in Christ,(296)
yet it is of such necessity to all sinners, that none may expect
pardon without it.(297)

15.4
As there is no sin so small, but it
deserves damnation;(298)
so there is no sin so great, that it can bring damnation upon those
who truly repent.(299)

15.5
Man ought not to content themselves
with a general repentance, but it is every man's duty to endeavour
to repent of his particular sins, particularly.(300)

15.6
As every man is bound to make private
confession of his sins to God, praying for the pardon thereof;(301)
upon which, and the forsaking of them, he shall find mercy;(302)
so, he that scandalizes his brother, or the Church of Christ, ought
to be willing, by a private or public confession, and sorrow for his
sin, to declare his repentance to those that are offended,(303)
who are thereupon to be reconciled to him, and in love to receive
him.(304)

______________

Chapter 16

Of Good Works

16.1
Good works are only such as God has
commanded in His holy Word,(305)
and not such as, without the warrant thereof, are devised by men,
out of blind zeal, or upon any pretence of good intention.(306)

16.2
These good works, done in obedience
to God's commandments, are the fruits and evidences of a true and
lively faith:(307)
and by them believers manifest their thankfulness,(308)
strengthen their assurance,(309)
edify their brethren,(310)
adorn the profession of the Gospel,(311)
stop the mouths of the adversaries,(312)
and glorify God,(313)whose
workmanship they are, created in Christ Jesus thereunto,(314)that,
having their fruit unto holiness, they may have the end, eternal
life.(315)

16.3
Their ability to do good works is not
at all of themselves, but wholly from the Spirit of Christ.(316)
And that they may be enabled thereunto, beside the graces they have
already received, there is required an actual influence of the same
Holy Spirit, to work in them to will, and to do, of His good
pleasure:(317)
yet are they not hereupon to grow negligent, as if they were not
bound to perform any duty unless upon a special motion of the
Spirit; but they ought to be diligent in stirring up the grace of
God that is in them.(318)

16.4
They who, in their obedience, attain
to the greatest height which is possibly in this life, are so far
from being able to supererogate, and to do more than God requires,
as that they fall short of much which in duty they are bound to do.(319)

16.5
We cannot by our best works merit
pardon of sin, or eternal life at the hand of God, by reason of the
great disproportion that is between them and the glory to come; and
the infinite distance that is between us and God, whom, by them, we
can neither profit, nor satisfy for the debt of our former sins,(320)but
when we have done all we can, we have done but our duty, and are
unprofitable servants:(321)
and because, as they are good, they proceed from His Spirit,(322)
and as they are wrought by us, they are defiled, and mixed with so
much weakness and imperfection, that they cannot endure the severity
of God's judgment.(323)

16.6
Notwithstanding, the persons of
believers being accepted through Christ, their good works also are
accepted in Him;(324)
not as though they were in this life wholly unblamable and
unreproveable in God's sight;(325)
but that He, looking upon them in His Son, is pleased to accept and
reward that which is sincere, although accompanied with many
weaknesses and imperfections.(326)

16.7
Works done by unregenerate men,
although for the matter of them they may be things which God
commands; and of good use both to themselves and others:(327)
yet, because they proceed not from an heart purified by faith;(328)
nor are done in a right manner, according to the Word;(329)
nor to a right end, the glory of God,(330)
they are therefore sinful and cannot please God, or make a man meet
to receive grace from God:(331)
and yet, their neglect of them is more sinful and displeasing unto
God.(332)

______________

Chapter 17

Of the Perseverance of the
Saints

17.1
They, whom God has accepted in His
Beloved, effectually called, and sanctified by His Spirit, can
neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but
shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally
saved.(333)

17.2
This perseverance of the saints
depends not upon their own free will, but upon the immutability of
the decree of election, flowing from the free and unchangeable love
of God the Father;(334)
upon the efficacy of the merit and intercession of Jesus Christ,(335)
the abiding of the Spirit, and of the seed of God within them,(336)
and the nature of the covenant of grace:(337)
from all which arises also the certainty and infallibility thereof.(338)

17.3
Nevertheless, they may, through the
temptations of Satan and of the world, the prevalency of corruption
remaining in them, and the neglect of the means of their
preservation, fall into grievous sins;(339)
and, for a time, continue therein:(340)
whereby they incur God's displeasure,(341)
and grieve His Holy Spirit,(342)
come to be deprived of some measure of their graces and comforts,(343)
have their hearts hardened,(344)
and their consciences wounded;(345)
hurt and scandalize others,(346)
and bring temporal judgments upon themselves.(347)

Chapter 18

Of Assurance of Grace and
Salvation

18.1
Although hypocrites and other
unregenerate men may vainly deceive themselves with false hopes and
carnal presumptions of being in the favor of God, and estate of
salvation(348)
(which hope of theirs shall perish):(349)
yet such as truly believe in the Lord Jesus, and love Him in
sincerity, endeavouring to walk in all good conscience before Him,
may, in this life, be certainly assured that they are in the state
of grace,(350)
and may rejoice in the hope of the glory of God, which hope shall
never make them ashamed.(351)

18.2
This certainty is not a bare
conjectural and probable persuasion grounded upon a fallible hope;(352)
but an infallible assurance of faith founded upon the divine truth
of the promises of salvation,(353)
the inward evidence of those graces unto which these promises are
made,(354)
the testimony of the Spirit of adoption witnessing with our spirits
that we are the children of God,(355)
which Spirit is the earnest of our inheritance, whereby we are
sealed to the day of redemption.(356)

18.3
This infallible assurance does not so
belong to the essence of faith, but that a true believer may wait
long, and conflict with many difficulties, before he be partaker of
it:(357)
yet, being enabled by the Spirit to know the things which are freely
given him of God, he may, without extraordinary revelation in the
right use of ordinary means, attain thereunto.(358)
And therefore it is the duty of every one to give all diligence to
make his calling and election sure,(359)
that thereby his heart may be enlarged in peace and joy in the Holy
Ghost, in love and thankfulness to God, and in strength and
cheerfulness in the duties of obedience,(360)the
proper fruits of this assurance; so far is it from inclining men to
looseness.(361)

18.4
True believers may have the assurance
of their salvation divers ways shaken, diminished, and intermitted;
as, by negligence in preserving of it, by falling into some special
sin which wounds the conscience and grieves the Spirit; by some
sudden or vehement temptation, by God's withdrawing the light of His
countenance, and suffering even such as fear Him to walk in darkness
and to have no light:(362)
yet are they never so utterly destitute of that seed of God, and
life of faith, that love of Christ and the brethren, that sincerity
of heart, and conscience of duty, out of which, by the operation of
the Spirit, this assurance may, in due time, be revived;(363)
and by the which, in the mean time, they are supported from utter
despair.(364)

______________

Chapter 19

Of the Law of God

19.1
God gave to Adam a law, as a covenant
of works, by which He bound him and all his posterity, to personal,
entire, exact, and perpetual obedience, promised life upon the
fulfilling, and threatened death upon the breach of it, and endued
him with power and ability to keep it.(365)

19.2
This law, after his fall, continued
to be a perfect rule of righteousness; and, as such, was delivered
by God upon Mount Sinai, in ten commandments, and written in two
tables:(366)
the first four commandments containing our duty towards God; and the
other six, our duty to man.(367)

19.3
Besides this law, commonly called
moral, God was pleased to give to the people of Israel, as a church
under age, ceremonial laws, containing several typical ordinances,
partly of worship, prefiguring Christ, His graces, actions,
sufferings, and benefits;(368)
and partly, holding forth divers instructions of moral duties.(369)
All which ceremonial laws are now abrogated, under the New
Testament.(370)

19.4
To them also, as a body politic, He
gave sundry judicial laws, which expired together with the State of
that people; not obliging under any now, further than the general
equity thereof may require.(371)

19.5
The moral law does forever bind all,
as well justified persons as others, to the obedience thereof;(372)
and that, not only in regard of the matter contained in it, but also
in respect of the authority of God the Creator, who gave it.(373)
Neither does Christ, in the Gospel, any way dissolve, but much
strengthen this obligation.(374)

19.6
Although true believers be not under
the law, as a covenant of works, to be thereby justified, or
condemned;(375)
yet is it of great use to them, as well as to others; in that, as a
rule of life informing them of the will of God, and their duty, it
directs and binds them to walk accordingly;(376)
discovering also the sinful pollutions of their nature, hearts and
lives;(377)
so as, examining themselves thereby, they may come to further
conviction of, humiliation for, and hatred against sin,(378)
together with a clearer sight of the need they have of Christ, and
the perfection of His obedience.(379)
It is likewise of use to the regenerate, to restrain their
corruptions, in that it forbids sin:(380)
and the threatenings of it serve to show what even their sins
deserve; and what afflictions, in this life, they may expect for
them, although freed from the curse thereof threatened in the law.(381)The
promises of it, in like manner, show them God's approbation of
obedience,and what blessings they may expect upon the performance
thereof:(382)
although not as due to them by the law as a covenant of works.(383)
So as, a man's doing good, and refraining from evil, because the law
encourages to the one and deters from the other, is no evidence of
his being under the law: and not under grace.(384)

19.7
Neither are the forementioned uses of
the law contrary to the grace of the Gospel, but do sweetly comply
with it;(385)
the Spirit of Christ subduing and enabling the will of man to do
that freely, and cheerfully, which the will of God, revealed in the
law, requires to be done.(386)

______________

Chapter 20

Of Christian Liberty, and
Liberty of Conscience

20.1
The liberty which Christ has
purchased for believers under the Gospel consists in their freedom
from the guilt of sin, and condemning wrath of God, the curse of the
moral law;(387)and, in their being delivered from
this present evil world, bondage to Satan, and dominion of sin;(388)
from the evil of afflictions, the sting of death, the victory of the
grave, and everlasting damnation;(389)
as also, in their free access to God,(390)
and their yielding obedience unto Him, not out of slavish fear, but
a child-like love and willing mind.(391)
All which were common also to believers under the law.(392)
But, under the New Testament, the liberty of Christians is further
enlarged, in their freedom from the yoke of the ceremonial law, to
which the Jewish Church was subjected;(393)
and in greater boldness of access to the throne of grace,(394)
and in fuller communications of the free Spirit of God, than
believers under the law did ordinarily partake of.(395)

20.2
God alone is Lord of the conscience,(396)
and has left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men,
which are, in any thing, contrary to His Word; or beside it, in
matters of faith, or worship.(397)
So that, to believe such doctrines, or to obey such commands, out of
conscience, is to betray true liberty of conscience:(398)
and the requiring of an implicit faith, and an absolute and blind
obedience, is to destroy liberty of conscience, and reason also.(399)

20.3
They who, upon pretence of Christian
liberty, do practice any sin, or cherish any lust, do thereby
destroy the end of Christian liberty, which is, that being delivered
out of the hands of our enemies, we might serve the Lord without
fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our
life.(400)

20.4
And because the powers which God has
ordained, and the liberty which Christ has purchased are not
intended by God to destroy, but mutually to uphold and preserve one
another, they who, upon pretence of Christian liberty, shall oppose
any lawful power, or the lawful exercise of it, whether it be civil
or ecclesiastical, resist the ordinance of God.(401)
And, for their publishing of such opinions, or maintaining of such
practices, as are contrary to the light of nature, or to the known
principles of Christianity (whether concerning faith, worship, or
conversation), or to the power of godliness; or, such erroneous
opinions or practices, as either in their own nature, or in the
manner of publishing or maintaining them, are destructive to the
external peace and order which Christ has established in the Church,
they may lawfully be called to account,(402)
and proceeded against, by the censures of the Church, and by the
power of the civil magistrate.(403)

Chapter 21

Of Religious Worship, and the
Sabbath Day

21.1
The light of nature shows that there
is a God, who has lordship and sovereignty over all, is good, and
does good unto all, and is therefore to be feared, loved, praised,
called upon, trusted in, and served, with all the heart, and with
all the soul, and with all the might.(404)
But the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by
Himself, and so limited by His own revealed will, that He may not be
worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men, or the
suggestions of Satan, under any visible representation, or any other
way not prescribed in the holy Scripture.(405)

21.2
Religious worship is to be given to
God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; and to Him alone;(406)
not to angels, saints, or any other creature:(407)
and, since the fall, not without a Mediator; nor in the mediation of
any other but of Christ alone.(408)

21.3
Prayer, with thanksgiving, being one
special part of religious worship,(409)
is by God required of all men:(410)
and, that it may be accepted, it is to be made in the name of the
Son,(411)
by the help of His Spirit,(412)
according to His will,(413)
with understanding, reverence, humility, fervency, faith, love and
perseverance;(414)
and, if vocal, in a known tongue.(415)

21.4
Prayer is to be made for things
lawful;(416)
and for all sorts of men living, or that shall live hereafter:(417)
but not for the dead,(418)
nor for those of whom it may be known that they have sinned the sin
unto death.(419)

21.5
The reading of the Scriptures with
godly fear,(420)
the sound preaching(421)
and conscionable hearing of the Word, in obedience unto God, with
understanding, faith and reverence,(422)
singing of psalms with grace in the heart;(423)
as also, the due administration and worthy receiving of the
sacraments instituted by Christ, are all parts of the ordinary
religious worship of God:(424)
beside religious oaths,(425)
vows,(426)
solemn fastings,(427)
and thanksgivings upon special occasions,(428)
which are, in their several times and seasons, to be used in an holy
and religious manner.(429)

21.6
Neither prayer, nor any other part of
religious worship, is now, under the Gospel, either tied unto, or
made more acceptable by any place in which it is performed, or
towards which it is directed:(430)
but God is to be worshipped everywhere,(431)
in spirit and truth;(432)
as, in private families(433)
daily,(434)
and in secret, each one by himself;(435)
so, more solemnly in the public assemblies, which are not carelessly
or wilfully to be neglected, or forsaken, when God, by His Word or
providence, calls thereunto.(436)

21.7
As it is the law of nature, that, in
general, a due proportion of time be set apart for the worship of
God; so, in His Word, by a positive, moral, and perpetual
commandment binding all men in all ages, He has particularly
appointed one day in seven, for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto him:(437)
which, from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of
Christ, was the last day of the week: and, from the resurrection of
Christ, was changed into the first day of the week,(438)
which, in Scripture, is called the Lord's Day,(439)
and is to be continued to the end of the world, as the Christian
Sabbath.(440)

21.8
This Sabbath is then kept holy unto
the Lord, when men, after a due preparing of their hearts, and
ordering of their common affairs beforehand, do not only observe an
holy rest, all the day, from their own works, words, and thoughts
about their worldly employments and recreations,(441)
but also are taken up, the whole time, in the public and private
exercises of His worship, and in the duties of necessity and mercy.(442)

______________

Chapter 22

Of Lawful Oaths and Vows

22.1
A lawful oath is part of religious
worship,(443)
wherein, upon just occasion, the person swearing solemnly calls God
to witness what he asserts, or promises, and to judge him according
to the truth or falsehood of what he swears.(444)

22.2
The name of God only is that by which
men ought to swear, and therein it is to be used with all holy fear
and reverence.(445)Therefore,
to swear vainly, or rashly, by that glorious and dreadful Name; or,
to swear at all by any other thing, is sinful, and to be abhorred.(446)
Yet, as in matters of weight and moment, an oath is warranted by the
Word of God, under the New Testament as well as under the old;(447)
so a lawful oath, being imposed by lawful authority, in such
matters, ought to be taken.(448)

22.3
Whosoever takes an oath ought duly to
consider the weightiness of so solemn an act, and therein to avouch
nothing but what he is fully persuaded is the truth:(449)
neither may any man bind himself by oath to any thing but what is
good and just, and what he believes so to be, and what he is able
and resolved to perform.(450)
Yet it is a sin to refuse an oath touching any thing that is good
and just, being imposed by lawful authority.(451)

22.4
An oath is to be taken in the plain
and common sense of the words, without equivocation, or mental
reservation.(452)
It cannot oblige to sin; but in any thing not sinful, being taken,
it binds to performance, although to a man's own hurt.(453)
Not is it to be violated, although made to heretics, or infidels.(454)

22.5
A vow is of the like nature with a
promissory oath, and ought to be made with the like religious care,
and to be performed with the like faithfulness.(455)

22.6
It is not to be made to any creature,
but to God alone:(456)
and that it may be accepted, it is to be made voluntarily, out of
faith, and conscience of duty, in way of thankfulness for mercy
received, or for the obtaining of what we want, whereby we more
strictly bind ourselves to necessary duties: or, to other things, so
far and so long as they may fitly conduce thereunto.(457)

22.7
No man may vow to do any thing
forbidden in the Word of God, or what would hinder any duty therein
commanded, or which is not in his own power, and for the performance
whereof he has no promise of ability from God.(458)
In which respects, popish monastical vows of perpetual single life,
professed poverty, and regular obedience, are so far from being
degrees of higher perfection, that they are superstitious and sinful
snares, in which no Christian may entangle himself.(459)

______________

Chapter 23

Of the Civil Magistrate

23.1
God, the supreme Lord and King of all
the world, has ordained civil magistrates, to be, under Him, over
the people, for His own glory, and the public good: and, to this
end, has armed them with the power of the sword, for the defence and
encouragement of them that are good, and for the punishment of evil
doers.(460)

23.2
It is lawful for Christians to accept
and execute the office of a magistrate, when called thereunto:(461)
in the managing whereof, as they ought especially to maintain piety,
justice, and peace, according to the wholesome laws of each
commonwealth;(462)
so, for that end, they may lawfully, now under the New Testament,
wage war, upon just and necessary occasion.(463)

23.3
The civil magistrate may not assume
to himself the administration of the Word and sacraments, or the
power of the keys of the kingdom of heaven:(464)
yet he has authority, and it is his duty, to take order that unity
and peace be preserved in the Church, that the truth of God be kept
pure and entire, that all blasphemies and heresies be suppressed,
all corruptions and abuses in worship and discipline prevented or
reformed, and all the ordainances of God duly settled,
administrated, and observed.(465)
For the better effecting whereof, he has power to call synods, to be
present at them and to provide that whatsoever is transacted in them
be according to the mind of God(466)

23.4
It is the duty of people to pray for
magistrates,(467)
to honor their persons,(468)
to pay them tribute or other dues,(469)
to obey their lawful commands, and to be subject to their authority,
for conscience' sake.(470)
Infidelity, or difference in religion, does not make void the
magistrates' just and legal authority, nor free the people from
their due obedience to them:(471)
from which ecclesiastical persons are not exempted,(472)
much less has the Pope any power and jurisdiction over them in their
dominions, or over any of their people; and, least of all, to
deprive them of their dominions, or lives, if he shall judge them to
be heretics, or upon any other pretence whatsoever.(473)

Chapter 24

Of Marriage and Divorce

24.1
Marriage is to be between one man and
one woman: neither is it lawful for any man to have more than one
wife, nor for any woman to have more than one husband, at the same
time.(474)

24.2
Marriage was ordained for the mutual
help of husband and wife,(475)
for the increase of mankind with a legitimate issue, and of the
Church with an holy seed;(476)
and for preventing of uncleanness.(477)

24.3
It is lawful for all sorts of people
to marry, who are able with judgment to give their consent.(478)
Yet it is the duty of Christians to marry only in the Lord.(479)
And therefore such as profess the true reformed religion should not
marry with infidels, papists, or other idolaters: neither should
such as are godly be unequally yoked, by marrying with such as are
notoriously wicked in their life, or maintain damnable heresies.(480)

24.4
Marriage ought not to be within the
degrees of consanguinity or affinity forbidden by the Word.(481)
Nor can such incestuous marriages ever be made lawful by any law of
man or consent of parties, so as those persons may live together as
man and wife.(482)The
man may not marry any of his wife's kindred, nearer in blood then he
may of his own: nor the woman of her husband's kindred, nearer in
blood than of her own.(483)

24.5
Adultery or fornication committed
after a contract, being detected before marriage, gives just
occasion to the innocent party to dissolve that contract.(484)
In the case of adultery after marriage, it is lawful for the
innocent party to sue out a divorce and, after the divorce,(485)
to marry another, as if the offending party were dead.(486)

24.6
Although the corruption of man be
such as is apt to study arguments unduly to put asunder those whom
God has joined together in marriage: yet, nothing but adultery, or
such wilful desertion as can no way be remedied by the Church, or
civil magistrate, is cause sufficient of dissolving the bond of
marriage:(487)
wherein, a public and orderly course of proceeding is to be
observed; and the persons concerned in it not left to their own
wills, and discretion, in their own case.(488)

Chapter 25

Of the Church

25.1
The catholic or universal Church,
which is invisible, consists of the whole number of the elect, that
have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ the Head
thereof; and is the spouse, the body, the fulness of Him that fills
all in all.(489)

25.2
The visible Church, which is also
catholic or universal under the Gospel (not confined to one nation,
as before under the law), consists of all those throughout the world
that profess the true religion;(490)
and of their children:(491)
and is the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ,(492)
the house and family of God,(493)
out of which there is no ordinary possibility of salvation.(494)

25.3
Unto this catholic visible Church
Christ has given the ministry, oracles, and ordinances of God, for
the gathering and perfecting of the saints, in this life, to the end
of the world: and does, by His own presence and Spirit, according to
His promise, make them effectual thereunto.(495)

25.4
This catholic Church has been
sometimes more, sometimes less visible.(496)
And particular Churches, which are members thereof, are more or less
pure, according as the doctrine of the Gospel is taught and
embraced, ordinances administered, and public worship performed more
or less purely in them.(497)

25.5
The purest Churches under heaven are
subject both to mixture and error;(498)
and some have so degenerated, as to become no Churches of Christ,
but synagogues of Satan.(499)
Nevertheless, there shall be always a Church on earth to worship God
according to His will.(500)

25.6
There is no other head of the Church
but the Lord Jesus Christ.(501)
Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof. but is that
Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts
himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God.(502)

Chapter 26

Of the Communion of Saints

26.1
All saints, that are united to Jesus
Christ their Head, by His Spirit, and by faith, have fellowship with
Him in His grace, sufferings, death, resurrection, and glory:(503)
and, being united to one another in love, they have communion in
each other's gifts and graces,(504)
and are obliged to the performance of such duties, public and
private, as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the inward and
outward man.(505)

26.2
Saints by profession are bound to
maintain an holy fellowship and communion in the worship of God, and
in performing such other spiritual services as tend to their mutual
edification;(506)
as also in relieving each other in outward things, according to
their several abilities and necessities. Which communion, as God
offers opportunity, is to be extended unto all those who, in every
place, call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.(507)

26.3
This communion which the saints have
with Christ, does not make them in any wise partakers of the
substance of His Godhead; or to be equal with Christ in any respect:
either of which to affirm is impious and blasphemous.(508)
Nor does their communion one with another, as saints, take away, or
infringe the title or propriety which each man has in his goods and
possessions.(509)

Chapter 27

Of the Sacraments

27.1
Sacraments are holy signs and seals
of the covenant of grace,(510)immediately
instituted by God,(511)
to represent Christ and His benefits; and to confirm our interest in
Him:(512)
as also, to put a visible difference between those that belong unto
the Church and the rest of the world;(513)
and solemnly to engage them to the service of God in Christ,
according to His Word.(514)

27.2
There is, in every sacrament, a
spiritual relation, or sacramental union, between the sign and the
thing signified: whence it comes to pass, that the names and effects
of the one are attributed to the other.(515)

27.3
The grace which is exhibited in or by
the sacraments rightly used, is not conferred by any power in them;
neither does the efficacy of a sacrament depend upon the piety or
intention of him that does administer it:(516)
but upon the work of the Spirit,(517)
and the word of institution, which contains, together with a precept
authorizing the use thereof, a promise of benefit to worthy
receivers.(518)

27.4
There are only two sacraments
ordained by Christ our Lord in the Gospel; that is to say, Baptism,
and the Supper of the Lord: neither of which may be dispensed by
any, but by a minister of the Word lawfully ordained.(519)

27.5
The sacraments of the Old Testament
in regard to the spiritual things thereby signified and exhibited,
were, for substance, the same with those of the new.(520)

______________

Chapter 28

Of Baptism

28.1
Baptism is a sacrament of the New
Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ,(521)
not only for the solemn admission of the party baptized into the
visible Church;(522)
but also to be unto him a sign and seal of the covenant of grace,(523)
of his ingrafting into Christ,(524)
of regeneration,(525)
of remission of sins,(526)
and of his giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to walk in the
newness of life.(527)Which
sacrament is, by Christ's own appointment, to be continued in His
Church until the end of the world.(528)

28.2
The outward element to be used in
this sacrament is water, wherewith the party is to be baptized, in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, by a
minister of the Gospel, lawfully called thereunto.(529)

28.3
Dipping of the person into the water
is not necessary; but Baptism is rightly administered by pouring, or
sprinkling water upon the person.(530)

28.4 Not
only those that do actually profess faith in and obedience unto
Christ,(531)
but also the infants of one, or both, believing parents, are to be
baptized.(532)

28.5 Although
it is a great sin to contemn or neglect this ordinance,(533)
yet grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed unto it, as
that no person can be regenerated, or saved, without it:(534)
or, that all that are baptized are undoubtedly regenerated.(535)

28.6 The
efficacy of Baptism is not tied to that moment of time wherein it is
administered;(536)
yet, notwithstanding, by the right use of this ordinance, the grace
promised is not only offered, but really exhibited, and conferred,
by the Holy Ghost, to such (whether of age or infants) as that grace
belongs unto, according to the counsel of God's own will, in His
appointed time.(537)

28.7
The sacrament of Baptism is but once
to be administered unto any person.(538)

______________

Chapter 29

Of the Lord's Supper

29.1
Our Lord Jesus, in the night wherein
He was betrayed, instituted the sacrament of His body and blood,
called the Lord's Supper, to be observed in His Church, unto the end
of the world, for the perpetual remembrance of the sacrifice of
Himself in His death; the sealing all benefits thereof unto true
believers, their spiritual nourishment and growth in Him, their
further engagement in and to all duties which they owe unto Him;
and, to be a bond and pledge of their communion with Him, and with
each other, as members of His mystical body.(539)

29.2
In this sacrament, Christ is not
offered up to His Father; nor any real sacrifice made at all, for
remission of sins of the quick or dead;(540)
but only a commemoration of that one offering up of Himself, by
Himself, upon the cross, once for all: and a spiritual oblation of
all possible praise unto God, for the same:(541)
so that the popish sacrifice of the mass (as they call it) is most
abominably injurious to Christ's one, only sacrifice, the alone
propitiation for all the sins of His elect.(542)

29.3
The Lord Jesus has, in this
ordinance, appointed His ministers to declare His word of
institution to the people, to pray, and bless the elements of bread
and wine, and thereby to set them apart from a common to an holy
use; and to take and break the bread, to take the cup, and (they
communicating also themselves) to give both to the communicants;(543)
but to none who are not then present in the congregation.(544)

29.4
Private masses, or receiving this
sacrament by a priest, or any other alone;(545)
as likewise, the denial of the cup to the people,(546)
worshipping the elements, the lifting them up, or carrying them
about, for adoration, and the reserving them for any pretended
religious use; are all contrary to the nature of this sacrament, and
to the institution of Christ.(547)

29.5
The outward elements in this
sacrament, duly set apart to the uses ordained by Christ, have such
relation to Him crucified, as that, truly, yet sacramentally only,
they are sometimes called by the name of the things they represent,
to wit, the body and blood of Christ;(548)
albeit, in substance and nature, they still remain truly and only
bread and wine, as they were before.(549)

29.6
That doctrine which maintains a
change of the substance of bread and wine, into the substance of
Christ's body and blood (commonly called transubstantiation) by
consecration of a priest, or by any other way, is repugnant, not to
Scripture alone, but even to common sense, and reason; overthrows
the nature of the sacrament, and has been, and is, the cause of
manifold superstitions; yes, of gross idolatries.(550)

29.7
Worthy receivers, outwardly partaking
of the visible elements, in this sacrament,(551)
do then also, inwardly by faith, really and indeed, yet not carnally
and corporally but spiritually, receive and feed upon, Christ
crucified, and all benefits of His death: the body and blood of
Christ being then, not corporally or carnally, in, with, or under
the bread and wine; yet, as really, but spiritually, present to the
faith of believers in that ordinance, as the elements themselves are
to their outward senses.(552)

29.8
Although ignorant and wicked men
receive the outward elements in this sacrament; yet, they receive
not the thing signified thereby; but, by their unworthy coming
thereunto, are guilty of the body and blood of the Lord, to their
own damnation. Wherefore, all ignorant and ungodly persons, as they
are unfit to enjoy communion with Him, so are they unworthy of the
Lord's table; and cannot, without great sin against Christ, while
they remain such, partake of these holy mysteries,(553)
or be admitted thereunto.(554)

Chapter 30

Of Church Censures

30.1
The Lord Jesus, as king and head of
His Church, has therein appointed a government, in the hand of
Church officers, distinct from the civil magistrate.(555)

30.2
To these officers the keys of the
kingdom of heaven are committed; by virtue whereof, they have power,
respectively, to retain, and remit sins; to shut that kingdom
against the impenitent, both by the Word, and censures; and to open
it unto penitent sinners, by the ministry of the Gospel; and by
absolution from censures, as occasion shall require.(556)

30.3
Church censures are necessary, for
the reclaiming and gaining of offending brethren, for deterring of
others from the like offenses, for purging out of that leaven which
might infect the whole lump, for vindicating the honor of Christ,
and the holy profession of the Gospel, and for preventing the wrath
of God, which might justly fall upon the Church, if they should
suffer His covenant, and the seals thereof, to be profaned by
notorious and obstinate offenders.(557)

30.4
For the better attaining of these
ends, the officers of the Church are to proceed by admonition;
suspension from the sacrament of the Lord's Supper for a season; and
by excommunication from the Church; according to the nature of the
crime, and demerit of the person.(558)

______________

Chapter 31

Of Synods and Councils

31.1
For the better government, and
further edification of the Church, there ought to be such assemblies
as are commonly called synods or councils.(559)

31.2
As magistrates may lawfully call a
synod of ministers, and other fit persons, to consult and advise
with, about matters of religion;(560)
so, if magistrates be open enemies to the Church, the ministers of
Christ, of themselves, by virtue of their office, or they, with
other fit persons upon delegation from their Churches, may meet
together in such assemblies.(561)

31.3
It belongs to synods and councils,
ministerially to determine controversies of faith, and cases of
conscience; to set down rules and directions for the better ordering
of the public worship of God, and government of his Church; to
receive complaints in cases of maladministration, and
authoritatively to determine the same; which decrees and
determinations, if consonant to the Word of God, are to be received
with reverence and submission; not only for their agreement with the
Word, but also for the power whereby they are made, as being an
ordinance of God appointed thereunto in His Word.(562)

31.5
All synods or councils, since the
apostles' times, whether general or particular, may err; and many
have erred. Therefore they are not to be made the rule of faith, or
practice; but to be used as a help in both.(563)

31.6
Synods and councils are to handle, or
conclude nothing, but that which is ecclesiastical: and are not to
intermeddle with civil affairs which concern the commonwealth,
unless by way of humble petition in cases extraordinary; or, by way
of advice, for satisfaction of conscience, if they be thereunto
required by the civil magistrate.(564)

Chapter 32

Of the State of Men after Death,
and of the

Resurrection of the Dead

32.1
The bodies of men, after death,
return to dust, and see corruption:(565)
but their souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal
subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them:(566)
the souls of the righteous, being then made perfect in holiness, are
received into the highest heavens, where they behold the face of
God, in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their
bodies.(567)
And the souls of the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in
torments and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great
day.(568)
Beside these two places, for souls separated from their bodies, the
Scripture acknowledges none.

32.2
At the last day, such as are found
alive shall not die, but be changed:(569)
and all the dead shall be raised up, with the selfsame bodies, and
none other (although with different qualities), which shall be
united again to their souls forever.(570)

32.3
The bodies of the unjust shall, by
the power of Christ, be raised to dishonor: the bodies of the just,
by His Spirit, unto honor; and be made conformable to His own
glorious body.(571)

Chapter 33

Of the Last Judgment

33.1
God has appointed a day, wherein He
will judge the world, in righteousness, by Jesus Christ,(572)
to whom all power and judgment is given of the Father.(573)
In which day, not only the apostate angels shall be judged,(574)
but likewise all persons that have lived upon earth shall appear
before the tribunal of Christ, to give an account of their thoughts,
words, and deeds; and to receive according to what they have done in
the body, whether good or evil.(575)

33.2
The end of God's appointing this day
is for the manifestation of the glory of His mercy, in the eternal
salvation of the elect; and of His justice, in the damnation of the
reprobate, who are wicked and disobedient. For then shall the
righteous go into everlasting life, and receive that fullness of joy
and refreshing, which shall come from the presence of the Lord; but
the wicked who know not God, and obey not the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, shall be cast into eternal torments, and be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the
glory of His power.(576)

33.3
As Christ would have us to be certainly persuaded that there shall
be a day of judgment, both to deter all men from sin; and for the
greater consolation of the godly in their adversity:(577)
so will He have that day unknown to men, that they may shake off all
carnal security, and be always watchful, because they know not at
what hour the Lord will come; and may be ever prepared to say, Come
Lord Jesus, come quickly, Amen.(578)

(a) This
statement was the official statement issued by the General Assembly
of the Church of Scotland at the time of its official approval. The
three kingdoms of Scotland, England and Wales attempted to form a
uniform religious confession to settle problems in their countries.
Sadly, the uniformity sought throughout the kingdoms was not
achieved, nevertheless, this confession along with larger and
shorter catechisms became the statements of the Church of Scotland
which was a very mission minded church for centuries after and thus
these long-standing doctrinal and instructional statements have
become the foundation of most churches planted by them throughout
the world. While these became the doctrinal statements of the
Presbyterian churches, many other church doctrinal statements were
derived from these, such as those in many Baptist, Congregational
and Independent churches not only in the United Kingdom, but around
the world and remain in use unto this day.

Romans2:14-15  For when the Gentiles, which
have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law,
these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:15
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their
conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while
accusing or else excusing one another. Romans 1:19-20 
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God
hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of
him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse. Psalm19:1-3
 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth
his handiwork.Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night
sheweth knowledge.3There is no speech nor language, where their voice
is not heard. Romans 1:32  Who knowing the judgment of God,
that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do
the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 2:1
 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that
judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself;
for thou that judgest doest the same thing.

Corinthians1:21  For after that in the wisdom of God
the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness
of preaching to save them that believe. 1 Corinthians 2:13-14
 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom
teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual
things with spiritual.14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned.

(3) Hebrews 1:1
 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets.

(4) Proverbs
22:19-21  That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known
to thee this day, even to thee.20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in
counsels and knowledge,21That I might make thee know the certainty of
the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to
them that send unto thee? Luke1:3-4  It seemed good
to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the
very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,4That thou mightest know the certainty of those
things, wherein thou hast been instructed. Romans 15:4  For
whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our
learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures
might have hope. Matthew 4:4,7,10  But he answered and
said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.7Jesus
said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
thy God.10
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for
it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve. Isaiah8:19-20  And when they
shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and
unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek
unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they
speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in
them.

3:15  And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through

in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
worlds.

(7) Luke
16:29,31  Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the
prophets; let them hear them. 31 And
he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither
will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Ephesians2:20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.
Revelation22:18-19  For I testify unto every man that
heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add
unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book:19And if any man shall take away from the words
of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of
the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this book. 2 Timothy 3:16  All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness.

(8) Luke
24:27,44  And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he
expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning
himself. 44And
he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while
I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were
written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms,
concerning me. Romans 3:2  Much every way: chiefly,
because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. 2
Peter1:21  For the prophecy came not in old time by the
will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost.

(9) 2 Peter1:19  We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto
ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark
place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of
man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghos.
2 Timothy 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness. 1 John5:9  If we
receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this
is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 1Thessalonians2:13  For this cause also thank we God
without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye
heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in
truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that
believe.

(10)1 Timothy3:15  But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou
oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church

(11)1 John
2:20,27  But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know
all things.27But the anointing which ye have received of him
abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the
same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no
lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. John16:13-14  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he
will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew
you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew it unto you. 1Corinthians2:10-12
 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit
searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.11
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man
which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the
Spirit of God. 12 Now
we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which
is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us
of God. Isaiah59:21  As for me, this is my covenant
with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words
which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth,
nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's
seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

(12)2 Timothy 3:15-17  And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through
faith which is in Christ Jesus.16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:17
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished
unto all good works. Galatians1:8-9  But though we,
or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that
which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man
preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him
be accursed. 2Thessalonians2:2  That ye be
not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by
word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at
hand.

(13)John 6:45
 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of
God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the
Father, cometh unto me. 1Corinthians2:9-12 
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him.10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for
the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the
spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no
man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now
we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which
is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us
of God.

(14)1 Corinthians11:13-14  Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman
pray unto God uncovered? 14 Doth not even nature itself
teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1 Corinthians 14:26,40 How is it then, brethren? when ye
come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath
a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things
be done unto edifying.40 Let all things be done decently
and in order.

(15)2 Peter
3:16  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these
things: in which are some things hard to be understood, which they
that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other
scriptures, unto their own destruction.

(17)Matthew
5:18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass,
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all
be fulfilled.

(18)Isaiah
8:20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not
according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Acts15:15  And to this agree the words of the prophets;
as it is written. John 5:39  Search the scriptures; for in
them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify
of me. 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have
believed me: for he wrote of me.

(19)John 5:39
 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of me.

(20)1
Corinthians14:6,9,11,12,24,27,28  Now, brethren, if I
come undo you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except
I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, of by
prophesying, or by doctrine? 9 So likewise ye, except ye
utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be
known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. 11
Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto
him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a
barbarian unto me. 12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are
zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying
of the church. 24 But if all prophesy, and there come in
one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he
is judged of all: 27 If any man speak in an unknown
tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three, and that by course;
and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter,
let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself,
and to God.

face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should
seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him,
though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him
we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own
poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Job 38- 41  (Read entire chapters).

know? 11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they
are vanity.

might have mercy upon all. 33 O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his
judgments, and his ways past finding out! 34 For who hath
known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 2Samuel24:1  And again the anger of the Lord was

number Israel and Judah. 1Chronicles21:1 And
Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of
his high looks.

(113)James
1:13,14,17  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of
God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any
man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away
of his own lust, and enticed. 17 Every good gift and
every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of
lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
1John2:16  For all that is in the world, the
lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the world. Psalm50:21
 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest
that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove
thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

(114)2 Chronicles32:25,26,31  But Hezekiah rendered not again according to
the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore
there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 26
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart,
both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the
Lord came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. 31
Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of
Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in
the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was
in his heart. 2Samuel24:1  And again the
anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David
against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

(115)2 Corinthians12:7-9  And lest I should be exalted above measure through
the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in
the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be
exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the
Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said
unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made
perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my
infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Psalm73:1-28 (Read the entire psalm in the Bible).
Psalm 77:1-12 I cried
unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear
unto me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my
sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be
comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I
complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 4 Thou
holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient
times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I
commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be
favourable no more? 8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
doth his promise fail for evermore? 9 Hath God forgotten
to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember
the years of the right hand of the most High. 11 I will
remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders
of old. 12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk
of thy doings. I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God
with my voice; and he gave ear unto me; Compare Mark 14:66-72
with John 21: 15-17 So when
they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou
knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love
thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto
him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was
grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And
he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I
love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

(116)Romans
1:24,26,28  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness
through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies
between themselves. 26 For this cause God gave them up
unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural
use into that which is against nature. 28 And even as
they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them
over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient. Romans 11:7-8  What then? Israel hath not
obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained
it, and the rest were blinded 8 (According as it is
written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they
should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

(117)Deuteronomy29:4  Yet the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive,
and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken
away even that he hath. Matthew 25:29  For unto every one
that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him
that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

(119)Deuteronomy2:30  But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by
him: for the Lord thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart
obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth
this day. 2Kings8:12-13  And Hazael said,
Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that
thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt
thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword,
and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
13 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that
he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath
shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.

(120)Psalm
81:11  But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel
would none of me. 12 So I gave them up unto their own
hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 2
Thessalonians2:10-12  And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the
love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for
this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who
believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

(121)Exodus
7:3  And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs
and my wonders in the land of Egypt. Exodus 8:15,32  But
when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and
hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said. 32 And
Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let
the people go. 2Corinthians2:15-16  For we
are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and
in them that perish: 16 To the one we are the savour of
death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And
who is sufficient for these things? Isaiah8:14  And
he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a
rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a
snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 1Peter2:7
 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them
which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the
same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of
stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the
word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
Isaiah6:9-10  And he said, Go, and tell this people,
Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive
not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their
ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and
hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert,
and be healed. Acts28:26-27  Saying, Go unto this
people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand;
and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: 27 For the
heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of
hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with
their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their
heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of
all men, specially of those that believe. Amos9:8-9
 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and
I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will
not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord. 9
For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among
all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the
least grain fall upon the earth. Romans 8:28  And we know
that all things work together for good to them that love God, to
them who are the called according to his purpose. Isaiah
43:3,4,5,14  For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel,
thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for
thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast
been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men
for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am
with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from
the west. 14 Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy
One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have
brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in
the ships.

(123)Genesis
3:13  And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that
thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I
did eat. 2Corinthians11:3  But I fear, lest
by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so
your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in
Christ.

(124)Romans 11:32
 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have
mercy upon all.

(125)Genesis
3:6-8  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to
make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the
eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked;
and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the
garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves
from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

short of the glory of God.

shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
shalt surely die. Ephesians2:1  And you hath he
quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.

(127)Titus 1:15
 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled
and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience
is defiled. Genesis6:5  And God saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Jeremiah17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked: who can know it? Romans 3:10-18  As it
is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after
God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are
together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not
one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their
tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their
lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16
Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way
of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God
before their eyes.

(128)Genesis
1:27-28  So God created man in his own image, in the image of
God created he him; male and female created he them. 28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over
every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis.
2:10,17  And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and
from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not
eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die. Acts17:26  And hath made of one blood all
nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath
determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their
habitation. Romans 5:12,15,16,17,18,19  Wherefore, as by
one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. 15 But not
as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence
of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by
grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift:
for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of
many offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man's
offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance
of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one
judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life. 19 For as by one man's
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one
shall many be made righteous. 1Corinthians
15:21,22,45,49  For since by man came death, by man came also
the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 45 And so it
is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam
was made a quickening spirit. 49 And as we have borne the
image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

(129)Psalm
51:5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my
mother conceive me. Genesis5:3  And Adam lived an
hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after
his image; and called his name Seth. Job 14:4  Who can
bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. Job 15:14 
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a
woman, that he should be righteous?

(130)Romans 5:6
 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for
the ungodly. Romans 8:7  Because the carnal mind is enmity
against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed
can be. Romans 7:18  For I know that in me(that is, in my
flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but
how to perform that which is good I find not. Colossians 1:21
 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by
wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled.

(131)Genesis
6:5  And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually. Genesis 8:21  And the Lord smelled a
sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse
the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's
heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more
every thing living, as I have done. Romans 3:10-12  As it
is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after
God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are
together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not
one.

(132)James
1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his
own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived,
it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth
death. Ephesians2:2-3  Wherein in time past ye
walked according to the course of this world, according to the
prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the
children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had
our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling
the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the
children of wrath, even as others. Matthew15:19 
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

(133)1 John
1:8  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and
the truth is not in us. 10 If we say that we have not
sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Romans
7:14,17,18,23  For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am
carnal, sold under sin. 17 Now then it is no more I that
do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in
me(that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is
present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against
the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin
which is in my members. James3:2  For in many
things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a
perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Proverbs20:9  Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure
from my sin? Ecclesiastes7:20  For there is not a
just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

(134)Romans
7:5,7,8,25  For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins,
which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit
unto death. 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God
forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not
known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all
manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 25
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I
myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Galatians5:17  For the flesh lusteth against the
Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the
one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

(135)1John3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law:
for sin is the transgression of the law.

(136)Romans 2:15
 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their
conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while
accusing or else excusing one another. Romans 3:9,19  What
then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before
proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin. 19
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them
who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the
world may become guilty before God.

(137)Ephesians2:3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times
past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as
others.

(138)Galatians3:10  For as many as are of the works of the law are under
the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth
not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do
them.

(139)Romans 6:23
 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(140)Ephesians4:18  Having the understanding darkened, being alienated
from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because
of the blindness of their heart.

(141)Romans 8:20
 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by
reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope. Lamentations3:39  Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the
punishment of his sins?

(142)Matthew
25:41  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand,
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the
devil and his angels. 2Thessalonians1:9 
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence
of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.

(143)Isaiah
40:13-17  Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being
his counseller hath taught him? 14 With whom took he
counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of
judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of
understanding? 15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a
bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he
taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 16 And
Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient
for a burnt offering. 17 All nations before him are as
nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
Job 9:32-33  For he is not a man, as I am, that I should
answer him, and we should come together in judgment. 33
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand
upon us both. 1Samuel2:25  If one man sin
against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against
the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened
not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay
them. Psalm113:5-6  Who is like unto the Lord our
God, who dwelleth on high, 6 Who humbleth himself to
behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! Psalm100:2-3  Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his
presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God:
it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people,
and the sheep of his pasture. Job22:2-3  Can a man
be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto
himself? 3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou
art righteous? or is it gain to him that thou makest thy ways
perfect? Job35:7-8  If thou be righteous, what
givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? 8
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may
profit the son of man. Luke17:10  So likewise ye,
when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you,
say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our
duty to do. Acts17:24-25  God that made the world
and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth,
dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is
worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing
he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.

(144)Galatians3:12  And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth
them shall live in them.

(145)Romans 10:5
 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That
the man which doeth those things shall live by them. Romans
5:12-20  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all
have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world:
but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that
had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is
the figure of him that was to come. 15 But not as the
offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one
many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace,
which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the
judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many
offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man's
offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance
of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one
judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life. 19 For as by one man's
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one
shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law
entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded,
grace did much more abound.

(146)Genesis
2:17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
shalt surely die. Galatians3:10  For as many as are
of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are
written in the book of the law to do them.

(147)Galatians3:21  Is the law then against the promises of God? God
forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given
life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. Romans
8:3  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through
the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,
and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. Romans 3:20-21 
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified
in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets. Genesis3:15
 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise
his heel. Isaiah42:6 I the Lord have called thee
in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and
give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles.

(148)Mark
16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth
and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned. John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life. Romans 10:6,9  But the
righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in
thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ
down from above:) 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Galatians
3:11  But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of
God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

(149)Ezekiel
36:26-27  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit
will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of
your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And
I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. John
6:44-45  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath
sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.
Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father,
cometh unto me.

(150)Hebrews
9:15-17  And for this cause he is the mediator of the new
testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are
called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death
of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men
are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator
liveth. Hebrews7:22  By so much was Jesus made a
surety of a better testament. Luke22:20  Likewise
also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in
my blood, which is shed for you. 1Corinthians
11:25  After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had
supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do
ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

(151)2
Corinthians3:6-9  Who also hath made us able ministers
of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the
letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 7 But if the
ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious,
so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face
of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be
done away: 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit
be rather glorious? 9 For if the ministration of
condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of
righteousness exceed in glory.

(152)Hebrews 8-10
 (Read entire chapters.). Romans 4:11  And he
received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of
the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the
father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised;
that righteousness might be imputed unto them also. Colossians
2:11-12  In whom also ye are circumcised with the
circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins
of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried
with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the
faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
1Corinthians5:7  Purge out therefore the old
leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.

(153)1 Corinthians10:1-4  Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all
passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto
Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the
same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same
spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed
them: and that Rock was Christ. Hebrews11:13  These
all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen
them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and
confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
John 8:56  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he
saw it, and was glad.

(154)Galatians3:7,8,9,14  Know ye therefore that they which are of faith,
the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the
scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through
faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee
shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of
faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 14 That the
blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

(155)Colossians
2:17  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of
Christ.

(156)Matthew
28:19-20  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the
end of the world. Amen. 1Corinthians11:23-25
 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto
you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed
took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it,
and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this
do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he
took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new
testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in
remembrance of me.

(157)Hebrews
12:22-27  But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of
the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable
company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church
of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge
of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of
sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not
who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape,
if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying,
Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those
things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those
things which cannot be shaken may remain. Jeremiah
31:33-34  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with
the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my
law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be
their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall
teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother,
saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of
them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive
their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

(158)Matthew
28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Ephesians2:15-19  Having abolished in his flesh the
enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to
make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached
peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the
Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household
of God.

(159)Luke
22:20  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is
the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

(160)Galatians3:14,16  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the
Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of
the Spirit through faith. 16 Now to Abraham and his seed
were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but
as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Acts15:11
 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we
shall be saved, even as they. Romans 3:21,22,23,30  But now
the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being
witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the
righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and
upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. 30
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith,
and uncircumcision through faith. Psalm32:1 
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Romans 4:3,6,16,17,23,24  For what saith the scripture?
Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the
man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works. 16
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the
promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of
the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is
the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have made
thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even
God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not
as though they were. 23 Now it was not written for his
sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 But for us
also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised
up Jesus our Lord from the dead. Hebrews13:8  Jesus
Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

(161)Isaiah
42:1  Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my
soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth
judgment to the Gentiles. 1Peter1:19-20 
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before
the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times
for you. John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life. 1Timothy
2:5  For there is one God, and one mediator between God and
men, the man Christ Jesus.

(162)Acts
3:22  For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall
the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;
him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

(163)Hebrews
5:5  So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high
priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I
begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou
art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

(164)Psalm
2:6  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. Luke1:33  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

(165)Ephesians5:23  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as
Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

(166)Hebrews
1:2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he
hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.

(167)Acts
17:31  Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will
judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained;
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised
him from the dead.

(168)John 17:6
 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out
of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they
have kept thy word. Psalm22:30  A seed shall serve
him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. Isaiah53:10  Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put
him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he
shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of
the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

(169)1 Timothy2:6  Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in
due time. Isaiah55:4-5  Behold, I have given him
for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not,
and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the
Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified
thee. 1Corinthians1:30  But of him are ye
in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

(170)John 1:1,14
 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 1John5:20  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath
given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we
are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the
true God, and eternal life. Philippians2:6  Who,
being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with
God. Galatians4:4  But when the fulness of the time
was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the
law.

(171)Hebrews
2:14,16,17  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of
flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death,
that is, the devil. 16 For verily he took not on him the
nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his
brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in
things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the
people. Hebrews4:15  For we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was
in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

(172)Luke
1:27,31,35  To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was
Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. 35 And the
angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon
thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore
also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the
Son of God. Galatians4:4  But when the fulness of
the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made
under the law.

the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. 1Timothy

godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory.

(174)Romans 1:3
 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the

surety of a better testament.

(180)Hebrews
5:4-5  And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that

written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when he
said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for
sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are
offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy

second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. John

foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have
crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having
loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he

soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption. Acts 13:37  But he, whom God raised again, saw
no corruption. Romans 6:9  Knowing that Christ being raised
from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. 27
Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my
hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be
not faithless, but believing.

(192)Romans 8:34
 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather,
that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also
maketh intercession for us. Hebrews9:24-25  For
Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which
are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear
in the presence of God for us. 25 Wherefore he is able

there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Jude 6  And
the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness

hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved

obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Hebrews
9:14  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the
eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 16
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death
of the testator. Hebrews 10:14  For by one offering he hath
perfected for ever them that are sanctified; Ephesians5:2
 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given
himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour. Romans 3:25-26  Whom God hath set

him which believeth in Jesus.

thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of
sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the most Holy. 26 And after threescore and
two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the
people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the
end of the war desolations are determined. Colossians 1:19-20
 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross,
by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether
they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Ephesians
1:11,14  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being
predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things
after the counsel of his own will. 14 Which is the
earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession, unto the praise of his glory. John17:2 
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give
eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. Hebrews
9:12,15  Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his
own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us. 15 And for this cause he is
the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the
redemption of the transgressions that were under the first
testament, they which are called might receive the promise of
eternal inheritance.

(196)Galatians4:4-5  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent
forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To

flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to
feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in
heaven. 1John3:16  Hereby perceive we the
love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to
lay down our lives for the brethren.

(199)John 6:37,39
 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 39 And this is

given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the
last day. John 10:15-16  As the Father knoweth me, even so
know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16

bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.

(200)1John2:1-2  My little children, these things write I unto you,

sins of the whole world. Romans 8:34  Who is he that
condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again,
who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession

for his friends. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants;
for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called
you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have
made known unto you. Ephesians1:7-9  In whom we
have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,

abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having
made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good
pleasure which he hath purposed in himself. John 17:6  I

mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of

Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the
other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Romans
7:15,18,19,21,23  For that which I do I allow not: for what I
would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 18 For
I know that in me(that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for
to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I
find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the
evil which I would not, that I do. 21 I find then a law,
that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 23
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my
mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in
my members.

together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and
which are on earth; even in him: 11 In whom also we have

purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own
will.

an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his

not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and
grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.
Titus 3:4,5  But after that the kindness and love of God our
Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he
saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy
Ghost. Ephesians2:4,5,8,9  But God, who is rich in
mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even
when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved). 8 For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans
9:11  For the children being not yet born, neither having done
any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election
might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth.

(224)1 Corinthians2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he
know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Romans 8:7
 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Ephesians2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved).

(225)John 6:37
 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Ezekiel36:37
 Thus saith the Lord God; I will yet for this be inquired of by the
house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men
like a flock. John 5:25  Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice
of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

(226)Luke
18:15-16  And they brought unto him also infants, that he would
touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the
kingdom of God. Acts2:38-39  Then Peter said unto
them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to
your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the
Lord our God shall call. John 3:3,5
 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 5
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God. 1John5:12  He that hath the Son hath
life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. Romans
8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be
that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the
Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

(227)John 3:8 
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth:
so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

(228)1John5:12  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not
the Son of God hath not life. Acts4:12  Neither is
there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

(229)Matthew
22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

(230)Matthew
7:22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful works? Matthew 13:20-21  But he
that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that
heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet
hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when
tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he
is offended. Hebrews6:4-5  For it is impossible for
those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly
gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And
have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to
come.

(231)John 6:64-66
 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from
the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray
him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no
man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and
walked no more with him. John 8:24  I said therefore unto
you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am
he, ye shall die in your sins.

(232)Acts
4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved. John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Ephesians2:12  That at that time ye were without
Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers
from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in
the world. John 4:22  Ye worship ye know not what: we know
what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. John 17:3 
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true
God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

(233)2 John
1:9-11  Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the
doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of
Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there
come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into
your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that
biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 1
Corinthians16:22  If any man love not the Lord Jesus
Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. Galatians1:6-8
 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into
the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not
another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the
gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from
heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed.

(234)Romans 8:30
 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom
he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he
also glorified. Romans 3:24  Being justified freely by his
grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

(235)Romans 4:5-8
 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth
the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom
God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying,
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are
covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not
impute sin. 2Corinthians5:19-21  To wit,
that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not
imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the
word of reconciliation. 21 For he hath made him to be sin
for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of
God in him. Romans 3:22,24,25,27,28  Even the righteousness
of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them
that believe: for there is no difference. 24 Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus. 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a
propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the
forbearance of God. 27 Where is boasting then? It is
excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith
without the deeds of the law. Titus 3:5,7  Not by works of
righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he
saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy
Ghost. 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be
made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Ephesians1:7  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
Jeremiah23:6  In his days Judah shall be saved, and
Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be
called, The Lord Our Righteousness. 1 Corinthians1:30-31
 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us
wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him
glory in the Lord. Romans 5:17-19  For if by one man's
offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance
of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore as by the offence of one
judgment came upon all men to condemnation. even so by the
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life. 19 For as by one man's
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one
shall many be made righteous.

(236)Acts
10:44  While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell
on all them which heard the word. Galatians2:16 
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by
the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ,
that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the
works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be
justified. Philippians3:9  And be found in him, not
having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which
is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by
faith. Acts13:38-39  Be it known unto you
therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto
you the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all that
believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be
justified by the law of Moses. Ephesians2:7-8  That
in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by
grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God.

(237)John 1:12
 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the
sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. Romans 3:28
 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the
deeds of the law. Romans 5:1  Therefore being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(238)James
2:17,22,26  Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being
alone. 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works,
and by works was faith made perfect? 26 For as the body
without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Galatians5:6  For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision
availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by
love.

(239)Romans
5:8,9,10,19  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much
more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 19 For as by
one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience
of one shall many be made righteous. 1Timothy
2:5-6  For there is one God, and one mediator between God and
men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom
for all, to be testified in due time. Hebrews10:10,14
 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the
body of Jesus Christ once for all. 14 For by one offering
he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Daniel9:24,26  Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and
upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end
of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the most Holy. 26 And after threescore and
two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the
people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the
end of the war desolations are determined. Isaiah
53:4,5,6,10,11,12 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried
our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and
afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was
upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we
like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own
way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 10
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his
seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall
prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of
his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my
righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath
poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the
transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession
for the transgressors.

(240)Romans 8:32
 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all,
how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

(241)2 Corinthians5:21  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no
sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Matthew3:17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Ephesians
5:2  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath
given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour.

(242)Romans 3:24
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is
in Christ Jesus. Ephesians1:7  In whom we have
redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to
the riches of his grace.

(243)Romans 3:26
 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might
be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Ephesians2:7  That in the ages to come he might shew
the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through
Christ Jesus.

(244)Galatians3:8  And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify
the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham,
saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 1 Peter
1:2,19,20  Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the
Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and
sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace,
be multiplied. 19 But with the precious blood of Christ,
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who
verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was
manifest in these last times for you. Romans 8:30  Moreover
whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called,
them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also
glorified.

(245)Galatians4:4  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent
forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law. 1
Timothy2:6  Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be
testified in due time. Romans 4:25  Who was delivered for
our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

(246)Colossians
1:21-22  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in
your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and
unblameable and unreproveable in his sight. Galatians
2:16  Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the
law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in
Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and
not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no
flesh be justified. Titus 3:4-7  But after that the
kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to
his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing
of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified
by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of
eternal life.

(247)Matthew
6:12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
1 John1:7,9  But if we walk in the light, as he is in
the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of
Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 9 If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1John
2:1,2  My little children, these things write I unto you, that
ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation
for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the
whole world.

(248)Luke
22:32  But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and
when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. John 10:28
 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Hebrews
10:14  For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that
are sanctified.

(249)Psalm
89:31-33  If they break my statutes, and keep not my
commandments; 32 Then will I visit their transgression
with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor
suffer my faithfulness to fail. Psalm51:7-11  Purge
me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter
than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the
bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face
from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create
in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy
salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Psalm32:5

forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Matthew26:75  And

cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept
bitterly. 1Corinthians11:30-32  For this
cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 32
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should
not be condemned with the world. Luke1:20  And,
behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day
that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my
words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

(250)Galatians3:9,13,14  So then they which be of faith are blessed with
faithful Abraham. 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the
curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the
blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Romans 4:22-24  And therefore it was imputed to him for
righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake
alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 But for us also, to
whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus
our Lord from the dead. Hebrews13:8  Jesus Christ
the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that
we might receive the adoption of sons.

believe on his name.

him my new name.

(254)Romans 8:15
 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but
ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
Father.

(255)Ephesians3:12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by
the faith of him. Romans 5:2  By whom also we have access
by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of
the glory of God.

6:30,32  Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field,
which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not
much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 32 For after
all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these things.. 1Peter5:7  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which
is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all
them which are sanctified. Philippians3:10  That I
may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship
of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death. Romans

that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin.

are not under the law, but under grace.

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and
length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of
Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all
the fulness of God.

you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be
preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(272)1John1:10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar,
and his word is not in us. Romans 7:18,23  For I know that
in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is
present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against
the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin
which is in my members. Philippians3:12  Not as
though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I
follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am
apprehended of Christ Jesus.

mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in

 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the
law, but under grace. 1John5:4  For
whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Ephesians4:15-16  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into
him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that
which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in
the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the
edifying of itself in love.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be
whiter than snow. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot
out all mine iniquities. 14 Deliver me from
bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue
shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. Psalm32:5-6 
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I
said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou

and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly
destroyed, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in Gilgal. 22

and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey
is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of
the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

(307)James
2:18,22  Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works:

diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to
patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly
kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if
these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall
neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and
cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his
old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give
diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these
things, ye shall never fall.

itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide
in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that
abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for

he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them,
and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Ezekiel
36:26-27  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit

statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.

pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that
hath called us to glory and virtue. 5 And beside this,

knowledge. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give
diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these
things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall
be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Isaiah64:7  And

time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be
revealed in us. Psalm16:2  O my soul, thou hast
said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to

as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? 3 Is
it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it
gain to him that thou makest thy ways perfect? Job 35:7-8 

thine hand? 8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art;
and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy
gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be
accepted before the Lord. Genesis4:4  And Abel, he
also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.

make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy
lord.

done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast
done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart,
thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of
Israel. 31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of
the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from
the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin. 1Kings21:27,29  And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words,
that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and
fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. 29 Seest
thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth
himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his
son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. Philippians1:15  Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and
some also of good will. Philippians1:16,18  The one
preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add
affliction to my bonds. 18 What then? notwithstanding,
every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and
I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

(328)Genesis
4:5  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And

11:4,6  By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent
sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was
righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet
speaketh. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please
him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he
is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in
the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you,
They have their reward. 5 And when thou prayest, thou
shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing
in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may
be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear
unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not
in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye
visited me not. 45 Then shall he answer them, saying,
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me. Matthew23:23  Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of
mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of
the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done,
and not to leave the other undone.

if ye do these things, ye shall never fal. John10:28-29
 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,

10:10,14,20,21  By the which will we are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 14 For
by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead
our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood
of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every
good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing
in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and
ever. Amen. Hebrews9:12-15  Neither by the blood of
goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the
holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by
means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were
under the first testament, they which are called might receive the
promise of eternal inheritance. Romans 8:33-39  Who shall
lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ
that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right
hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or
sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed
all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height,
nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. John

the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own
name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou
hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the
world. Luke22:32  But I have prayed for thee, that
thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy

liveth to make intercession for them.

14:16-17  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you. 1John2:27 
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and
ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing
teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as
it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 1John

for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 2Samuel11:27  And when the mourning was past, David

dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. 3 I have
put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how
shall I defile them? 4 My beloved put in his hand by the
hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him. 6 I

overwhelmed. Selah. 4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am
so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the
days of old, the years of ancient times. 6 I call to
remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and
my spirit made diligent search. 7 Will the Lord cast off
for ever? and will he be favourable no more? 8 Is his
mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up
his tender mercies? Selah. 10 And I said, This is my
infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the
most High. Matthew26:69-72  Now Peter sat without
in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast

that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

(364)Micah
7:7-9  Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the
God of my salvation: my God will hear me. 8 Rejoice not
against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in
darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. 9 I will
bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him,
until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring
me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

me. Isaiah54:7-10  For a small moment have I
forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 8
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with
everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy
Redeemer. 9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me:
for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over
the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor
rebuke thee. 10 For the mountains shall depart, and the
hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee,
neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord
that hath mercy on thee. Psalm22:1  My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and
from the words of my roaring? Psalm88(Read

(365)Genesis
1:26-27  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of
God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis
2:17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
shalt surely die. Romans 2:14-15  For when the Gentiles,
which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the
law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their
conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while
accusing or else excusing one another. Romans10:5 
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the
man which doeth those things shall live by them. Romans 5:12,19
 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by
sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made
sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Galatians3:10,12  For as many as are of the works of
the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one
that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of
the law to do them. 12 And the law is not of faith: but,
The man that doeth them shall live in them. Ecclesiastes

upright; but they have sought out many inventions. Job
28:28  And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that
is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

(366)James
1:25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of
the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James
2:8,10,11,12  If ye fulfil the royal law according to the
scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend
in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said,
Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit
no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the
law. 12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be
judged by the law of liberty. Romans 13:8-9  Owe no man any
thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath
fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other
commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Deuteronomy5:32
 Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath
commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the
left. Deuteronomy10:4  And he wrote on the tables,
according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the Lord

(367)Matthew
22:37-40  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment. 39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law
and the prophets.

(368)Hebrews
9  (Read entire chapter).Hebrews10:1  For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
and not the very image of the things, can never with those
sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the
comers thereunto perfect.Galatians4:1-3
 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth
nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But
is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the
father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in
bondage under the elements of the world. Colossians 2:17 
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

(369)1
Corinthians5:7  Purge out therefore the old leaven,
that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our
passover is sacrificed for us. 2Corinthians6:17
 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Jude 23  And others save with fear, pulling them out of
the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

(370)Colossians 2:14,16,17
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us,
which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to
his cross. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or
in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the
sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come;
but the body is of Christ. Daniel9:27  And he shall
confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the
week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for
the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even
until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the
desolate. Ephesians2:15-16  Having abolished in his
flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in
ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making
peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in
one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.

(371)Exodus
21-22  (Read entire chapters).Genesis49:10  The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a
lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him
shall the gathering of the people be. 1 Peter2:13-14
 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake:
whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14 Or unto
governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of
evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. Matthew5:17,38,39  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or
the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not
evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him
the other also. 1 Corinthians9:8-10  Say I these
things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? 9
For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the
mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for
oxen? 10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our
sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow
in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of
his hope.

(372)Romans 13:8-10
 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt
not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou
shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be
any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying,
namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love
worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of
the law. Ephesians6:2  Honour thy father and
mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;). 1 John2:3,4,7,8  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we
keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and
keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in
him. 7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but
an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old
commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is
true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true
light now shineth.

(373)James
2:10,11  For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend
in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said,
Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit
no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the
law.

(374)Matthew
5:17,18,19  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For
verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least
in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the
same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. James2:8  If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well. Romans
3:31  Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid:
yea, we establish the law.

(375)Romans 6:14
 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the
law, but under grace. Galatians2:16  Knowing that a
man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of
Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might
be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the
law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 3:13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the
law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every
one that hangeth on a tree. Galatians 4:4,5  But when the
fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a
woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were
under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Acts13:39  And by him all that believe are justified from all
things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Romans 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them
which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit.

(376)Romans
7:12,22,25  Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment
holy, and just, and good. 22 For I delight in the law of
God after the inward man. 25 I thank God through Jesus
Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of
God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Psalm119:4-6
 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. 5
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! 6 Then
shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy
commandments. 1Corinthians7:19 
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the
keeping of the commandments of God. Galatians
5:14,16,18,19,20,21,22,23  For all the law is fulfilled in one
word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not
fulful the lust of the flesh. 18 But if ye be led of the
Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the
flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft,
hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such
like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in
time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the
kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

(377)Romans 7:7
 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not
known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law
had said, Thou shalt not covet. Romans 3:20  Therefore by
the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:
for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

(378)James
1:23,24,25  For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,
he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso
looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he
being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall
be blessed in his deed. Romans 7:9,14,24  For I was alive
without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived,
and I died. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but
I am carnal, sold under sin. 24 O wretched man that I am!
who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

(379)Galatians3:24  Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us
unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Romans 7:24,25
 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of
this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the
flesh the law of sin. Romans 8:3  For what the law could
not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own
Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in
the flesh. Romans 8:4  That the righteousness of the law
might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit.

(380)James
2:11  For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do
not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art
become a transgressor of the law. Psalm119:101,104,128
 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep
thy word. 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way. 128 Therefore I esteem
all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every
false way.

(381)Ezra
9:13-14  And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds,
and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished
us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such
deliverance as this; 14 Should we again break thy
commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these
abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst
consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
Psalm89:30-34  If his children forsake my law, and walk
not in my judgments; 31 If they break my statutes, and
keep not my commandments; 32 Then will I visit their
transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor
suffer my faithfulness to fail. 34 My covenant will I not
break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

(382)Leviticus 26 

Corinthians6:16  And what agreement hath the temple of
God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath
said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their
God, and they shall be my people. Ephesians6:2-3 
Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with
promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou
mayest live long on the earth. Psalm37:11  But the
meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the
abundance of peace. Matthew5:5  Blessed are the
meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Psalm19:11 
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there
is great reward.

(383)Galatians2:16  Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of
the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in
Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and
not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no
flesh be justified. Luke17:10  So likewise ye, when
ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We
are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to
do.

(384)Romans 6:12,14
 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should
obey it in the lusts thereof. 14 For sin shall not have
dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
1Peter3:8-12  Finally, be ye all of one
mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be
pitiful, be courteous: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or
railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are
thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10
For he that ill love life, and see good days, let him refrain his
tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and
his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is
against them that do evil; Psalm34:12-16  What man
is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see
good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from
speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek
peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are upon
the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16
The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the
remembrance of them from the earth. Hebrews12:28-29
 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us
have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and
godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

(385)Galatians3:21  Is the law then against the promises of God? God
forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given
life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

(386)Ezekiel
36:27  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to
walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Hebrews8:10  For this is the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I
will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts:
and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
Jeremiah31:33  But this shall be the covenant that I
will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the
Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their
hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

(387)Titus
2:14  Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good
works. 1 Thessalonians1:10  And to wait for his Son
from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which
delivered us from the wrath to come. Galatians3:13 
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a
curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on
a tree.

(388)Galatians1:4  Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us
from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our
Father. Colossians 1:13  Who hath delivered us from the
power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his
dear Son. Acts26:18  To open their eyes, and to
turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto
God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance
among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Romans
6:14  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not
under the law, but under grace.

(389)Romans 8:28
 And we know that all things work together for good to them that
love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Psalm119:71  It is good for me that I have been
afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. 1Corinthians15:54-57  So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then
shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is
sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be
to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them
which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit.

(390)Romans 5:1-2
 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by
faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the
glory of God.

(391)Romans 8:14-15
 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of
God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage
again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby
we cry, Abba, Father. 1John4:18  There is
no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

(392)Galatians3:9,14  So then they which be of faith are blessed with
faithful Abraham. 14 That the blessing of Abraham might
come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the
promise of the Spirit through faith.

(393)Galatians4:1,3,6,7  Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a
child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time
appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were
children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 6
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son
into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou
art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God
through Christ. Galatians 5:1  Stand fast therefore in the
liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled
again with the yoke of bondage. Acts15:10,11  Now
therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the
disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

(394)Hebrews
4:14  Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is
passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
profession. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the
throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in
time of need. Hebrews 10:19-22  Having therefore, brethren,
boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through
the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 And having an
high priest over the house of God; 22 Let us draw near
with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts
sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure
water.

(395)John
7:38-39  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him
should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that
Jesus was not yet glorified.). 2Corinthians
3:13,17,18  And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face,
that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of
that which is abolished. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit:
and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the
Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as
by the Spirit of the Lord.

(396)James
4:12  There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to
destroy: who art thou that judgest another? Romans 14:4 
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master
he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able
to make him stand.

(397)Acts
4:19  But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether
it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto
God, judge ye. Acts 5:29  Then Peter and the other apostles
answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 1Corinthians7:23  Ye are bought with a price; be not
ye the servants of men. Matthew23:8-10  But be not
ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are
brethren. 9 And call no man your father upon the earth:
for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be
ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 2
Corinthians1:24  Not for that we have dominion over
your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
Matthew15:9  But in vain they do worship me, teaching
for doctrines the commandments of men.

(398)Colossians
2:20,22,23  Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the
rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye
subject to ordinances, 22 Which all are to perish with
the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and
humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the
satisfying of the flesh. Galatians1:10  For do I
now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet
pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Galatians
2:4-5  And that because of false brethren unawares brought in,
who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ
Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5 To whom
we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of
the gospel might continue with you. Galatians 5:1  Stand
fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

(399)Romans 10:17
 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 14:23  And he that doubteth is damned if he eat,
because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is
sin. Isaiah8:20  To the law
and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it
is because there is no light in them. Acts17:11 
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures daily, whether those things were so. John4:22
 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for
salvation is of the Jews. Hosea5:11  Ephraim is
oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after
the commandment. Revelation13:12,16,17  And he
exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth
the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed. 16 And he causeth all,
both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a
mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And
that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name. Jeremiah
8:9  The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo,
they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?

(400)Galatians5:13  For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only
use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one
another. 1Peter2:16  As free, and not using
your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of
God. 2 Peter2:19  While they promise them liberty,
they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is
overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. John8:34
 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin. Luke1:74-75 
That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand
of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75 In
holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

(401)Matthew
12:25  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every
city or house divided against itself shall not stand. 1
Peter2:13,14,16  Submit yourselves to every ordinance
of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him
for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do
well. 16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke
of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Romans 13:1-8
 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no
power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of
God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the
evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is
good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is
the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is
evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the
minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth
evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for
wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause
pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending
continually upon this very thing. 7 Render therefore to
all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom
custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 Owe
no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law. Hebrews13:17  Obey
them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they
watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may
do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for
you.

(402)Romans 1:32
 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such
things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure
in them that do them. 1 Corinthians5:1,5,11,13  It
is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such
fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one
should have his father's wife. 5 To deliver such an one
unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be
saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 11 But now I have
written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a
brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer,
or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put
away from among yourselves that wicked person. 2John1:10,11  If there come any unto you, and bring not this
doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God
speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker
of his evil deeds. 2Thessalonians3:14  And
if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and
have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 1 Timothy6:3-5  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to
wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the
doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud,
knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words,
whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the
truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw
thyself. Titus1:10,11,13  For there are many unruly
and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole
houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's
sake. 13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them
sharply, that they may be sound in the faith. Titus3:10
 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition
reject. Matthew18:15-17  Moreover if thy brother
shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee
and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one
or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word
may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear
them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church,
let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 1 Timothy1:19-20  Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some
having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto
Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. Revelation
2:2,14,15,20  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy
patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou
hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast
found them liars. 14 But I have a few things against
thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam,
who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of
Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit
fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the
doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 20
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou
sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to
teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat
things sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 3:9  Behold, I
will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews,
and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and
worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

(403)Deuteronomy13:6-11  If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son,
or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is
as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve
other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; 7
Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh
unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even
unto the other end of the earth; 8 Thou shalt not consent
unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him,
neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: 9
But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him
to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because
he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God, which
brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no
more any such wickedness as this is among you. Romans 13:3-4
 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt
thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and
thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the
minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil,
be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the
minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth
evil. 2John1:10-11  If there come any unto
you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house,
neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God
speed is partaker of his evil deeds. Ezra
7:23,25,26,27,28  Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven,
let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for
why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his
sons? 25 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God,
that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge
all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws
of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not. 26 And
whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king,
let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto
death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to
imprisonment. 27 Blessed be the Lord God of our fathers,
which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify
the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem: 28 And hath
extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellers, and
before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the
hand of the Lord my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of
Israel chief men to go up with me. Revelation17:12,16,17
 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with
the beast. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon
the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate
and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree,
and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall
be fulfilled. Nehemiah13:15,17,21,22,25,30  In
those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath,
and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and
figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem
on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein
they sold victuals. 17 Then I contended with the nobles
of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do,
and profane the sabbath day? 21 Then I testified against
them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so
again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no
more on the sabbath. 22 And I commanded the Levites that
they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep
the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God,
concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy
mercy. 25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and
smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them
swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their
sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
30 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed
the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his
business. 2Kings23:5,6,9.20.21  And he put
down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to
burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the
places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto
Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all
the host of heaven. 6 And he brought out the grove from
the house of the Lord, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and
burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and
cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the
people. 9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places
came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat
of the unleavened bread among their brethren. 20 And he
slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the
altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep
the passover unto the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of
this covenant. 2Chronicles34:33  And Josiah
took away all the abominations out of all the countries that
pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present
in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God. And all his
days they departed not from following the Lord, the God of their
fathers. 2 Chronicles15:12,13,16  And they entered
into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their
heart and with all their soul; 13 That whosoever would
not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether
small or great, whether man or woman. 16 And it came to
pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou
made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten?
Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined
to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened
unto my counsel. Daniel3:29  Therefore I make a
decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any
thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,
shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill:
because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
1 Timothy2:2  For kings, and for all that are in
authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty. Isaiah49:23  And kings shall
be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they
shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up
the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for
they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. Zechariah
13:2-3  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord
of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the
land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause
the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. 3
And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then
his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou
shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and
his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through
when he prophesieth.

soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as

worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing

the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou
shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the

in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household..
Deut verses.
Exodus20:4-6  Thou shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto
thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether
God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? 23

again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. Luke16:25,26  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy

is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he
had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this
do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew
the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever
shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily,
shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But
let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup. Acts2:42  And they continued

hallowed it. Isaiah56:2,4,6,7  Blessed is the man
that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that
keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from
doing any evil. 4 For thus saith the Lord unto the

and take hold of my covenant. 6 Also the sons of the
stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to
love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that
keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my

that is within thy gates. Matthew5:17-18  Think not
that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to

the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye
will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept
until the morning. 25 And Moses said, Eat that to day;
for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord: to day ye shall not find it
in the field. 26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the
seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath,
therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days;
abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on
the seventh day. 30 So the people rested on the seventh
day. Exodus 31:15-17  Six days may work be done; but in the
seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth
any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to

on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. Isaiah
58:13  If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing
thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the

own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own
words. Nehemiah13:15,16,17,18,19,21,22  In those
days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and
bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and
figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem
on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein
they sold victuals. 16 There dwelt men of Tyre also
therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the
sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. 17
Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What
evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day? 18
Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil
upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by
profaning the sabbath. 19 And it came to pass, that when
the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I
commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they
should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants
set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the
sabbath day. 21 Then I testified against them, and said
unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will
lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the
sabbath. 22 And I commanded the Levites that they should
cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to
sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this
also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.

(442)Isaiah
58:13  If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing

own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own
words.

requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and
by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his
righteousness.

things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the
earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your
nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 2
Corinthians1:23  Moreover I call God for a record upon
my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
Isaiah65:16  That he who blesseth himself in the earth
shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the
earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles

take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among
whom I dwell. 5 And the servant said unto him,
Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this
land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence
thou camest? 6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou
that thou bring not my son thither again. 8 And if the
woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear
from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again. 9
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master,
and sware to him concerning that matter.

and thy belly to swell. Nehemiah5:12  Then said

neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's
house; if the thief be found, let him pay double. 8 If
the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be
brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto
his neighbour's goods. 9 For all manner of trespass,
whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any
manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause
of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges
shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour. 10
If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or
any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man
seeing it: 11 Then shall an oath of the Lord be between
them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods;
and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it
good.

thee this day to meet me: 33 And blessed be thy advice,
and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed
blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 34
For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, which hath kept
me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet
me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light
any that pisseth against the wall. Psalm15:4  In

the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all

despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I
recompense upon his own head. Joshua9:18-19  And

your vows, and surely perform your vows. 26 Therefore
hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judah that dwell in the land of
Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, that
my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in
all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liveth.

(457)Deuteronomy23:21-23  When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God,
thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely
require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. 22 But

place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath
bound her soul, shall stand: and the Lord shall forgive her, because
her father disallowed her. 8 But if her husband
disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her
vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips,
wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the Lord shall
forgive her. 12 But if her husband hath utterly made them
void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her
lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall
not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the Lord shall
forgive her. 13 Every vow, and every binding oath to
afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may
make it void.

(459)Matthew
19:11,12  But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this
saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are
some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there
are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be
eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of
heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to
the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 1Corinthians7:23  Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of
men.

(460)Romans 13:1-4
 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no
power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of
God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the
evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is
good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is
the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is
evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the
minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth
evil. 1Peter2:13-14  Submit yourselves to
every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the
king, as supreme; 14 Or unto governors, as unto them that
are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise
of them that do well.

receive to themselves damnation. 4 For he is the minister
of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be
afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister
of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

(462)Psalm
2:10  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye
judges of the earth. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,
and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. 1
Timothy2:2  For kings, and for all that are in
authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty. Psalm82:3-4  Defend the poor
and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
2 Samuel23:3  The God of Israel said, the Rock of
Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in
the fear of God. 1 Peter2:13  Submit yourselves to
every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the
king, as supreme.

(463)Luke
3:14  And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And
what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man,
neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
Romans 13:4  For he is the minister of God to thee for good.
But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the
sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute
wrath upon him that doeth evil. Matthew8:9,10  For
I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to
this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and
to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10 When Jesus
heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say
unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Acts10:1-2  There was a certain man in Caesarea called
Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 2
A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave
much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. Revelation17:14,16  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb
shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and
they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 16
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate
the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her
flesh, and burn her with fire.

(464)2
Chronicles26:18  And they withstood Uzziah the king,
and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn
incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that
are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou
hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the Lord
God. Matthew18:17  And if he shall neglect to hear
them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church,
let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Matthew16:19  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven. 1Corinthians12:28-29  And God hath
set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings,
helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all
apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of
miracles? Ephesians4:11-12  And he gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the
saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body
of Christ. 1Corinthians4:1-2  Let a man so
account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the
mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards,
that a man be found faithful. Romans 10:15  And how shall
they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful
are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad
tidings of good things! Hebrews5:4  And no man
taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as
was Aaron.

(465)Isaiah
49:23  And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens
thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face
toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt
know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for
me. Psalm122:9  Because of the house of the Lord
our God I will seek thy good. Ezra7:23,25,26,27,28 
Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently
done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be
wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? 25 And
thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set
magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are
beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye
them that know them not. 26 And whosoever will not do the
law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed
speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to
confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. 27 Blessed be
the Lord God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in
the king's heart, to beautify the house of the Lord which is in
Jerusalem: 28 And hath extended mercy unto me before the
king, and his counsellers, and before all the king's mighty princes.
And I was strengthened as the hand of the Lord my God was upon me,
and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
Leviticus24:16  And he that blasphemeth the name of
the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation
shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born
in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put
to death. Deuteronomy13:5,6,12  And that prophet,
or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath
spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God, which brought you
out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of
bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord thy God
commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the
midst of thee. 6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother,
or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy
friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying,
Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor
thy fathers. 12 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy
cities, which the Lord thy God hath given thee to dwell there,
saying . put in ellipsis instead of
etc.2Kings18:4  He removed the
high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and
brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto
those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he
called it Nehushtan. 1 Chronicles13:1-9  (Read
entire chapter).2 Kings24:1-20  (Read all
verses 2Ki only to verse 20, not
26). 2Chronicles34:33  And
Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that
pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present
in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God. And all his
days they departed not from following the Lord, the God of their
fathers. 2 Chronicles15:12  And they entered into a
covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart
and with all their soul; 13 That whosoever would not seek
the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or
great, whether man or woman.

(466)2
Chronicles19:8-11  Moreover in Jerusalem did
Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief
of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord, and for
controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem. 9 And he
charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord,
faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 10 And what cause
soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their
cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment,
statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass
not against the Lord, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your
brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass. 11 And,
behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the
Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of
Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be
officers before you. Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with
the good. 2Chronicles29-30  (Read entire
chapters). Matthew2:4  And when he had
gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together,
he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And
they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written
by the prophet.

(467)1 Timothy2:1-2  I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made
for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in
authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty.

(469)Romans 13:6
 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's
ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

(470)Romans 13:5
 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also
for conscience sake. Titus3:1  Put them in mind to
be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be
ready to every good work.

(471)1Peter2:13,14,16  Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for
the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the
punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of
maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

(472)Romans 13:1
 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no
power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 1 Kings2:35  And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his
room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the
room of Abiathar. Acts25:9  But Festus, willing to
do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to
Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me? 10
Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to
be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well
knowest. 11 For if I be an offender, or have committed
any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none
of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto
them. I appeal unto Caesar. 2 Peter2:1,10,11  But
there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall
be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction. 10 But chiefly them that
walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise
government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid
to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are
greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against
them before the Lord. Jude 8  Likewise also these
filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil
of dignities. Jude 9-11  Yet Michael the archangel,
when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses,
durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord
rebuke thee. 10 But these speak evil of those things
which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts,
in those things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe unto
them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after
the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of
Core.

(473)2
Thessalonians2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself
above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as
God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Revelation13:15-17  And he had power to give life unto
the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both
speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the
beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small
and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man
might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name.

(474)Genesis
2:24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,
and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Matthew19:5-6  And said, For this cause shall a man
leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they
twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more
twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let
not man put asunder. Proverbs2:17  Which forsaketh
the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

(475)Genesis
2:18  And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should
be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

(476)Malachi
2:15  And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the
spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed.
Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously
against the wife of his youth.

(477)1 Corinthians7:2  Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have
his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 9
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to
marry than to burn.

(478)Hebrews
13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed
undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 1Timothy4:3  Forbidding to marry, and commanding to
abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with
thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1
Corinthians7:36-38  But if any man think that he
behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower
of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth
not: let them marry. 37 Nevertheless he that standeth
stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his
own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his
virgin, doeth well. 38 So then he that giveth her in
marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth
better. Genesis24:57  And they said, We will call
the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.

(479)1 Corinthians7:39  The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband
liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married
to whom she will; only in the Lord.

(480)Genesis
34:14  And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to
give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a
reproach unto us. Exodus 34:16  And thou take of their
daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after
their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
Deuteronomy7:3-4  Neither shalt thou make marriages
with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his
daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4 For they will
turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods:
so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy
thee suddenly. 1Kings11:4  For it came to
pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart
after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his
God, as was the heart of David his father. Nehemiah
13:25-27  And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote
certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by
God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor
take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves. 26
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many
nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and
God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did
outlandish women cause to sin. 27 Shall we then hearken
unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in
marrying strange wives? Malachi2:11-12  Judah hath
dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and
in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the Lord which
he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. 12
The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the
scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an
offering unto the Lord of hosts. 2 Corinthians 6:14  Be ye
not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath
light with darkness?

(481)Leviticus18  (Read entire chapter). 1 Corinthians5:1  It is reported commonly that there is fornication among
you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the
Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. Amos2:7
 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and
turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in
unto the same maid, to profane my holy name.

(482)Mark
6:18  For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee
to have thy brother's wife. Leviticus18:24-28 
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not
commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation,
nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 27 (For all
these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before
you, and the land is defiled;) 28 That the land spue not
you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that
were before you.

(483)Leviticus20:19-21  And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his
near kin: they shall bear their iniquity. 20 And if a man
shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's
nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an
unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall
be childless.

(484)Matthew
1:18-20  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When
as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came
together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make
her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David,
fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is
conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

(485)Matthew
5:31-32  It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say
unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the
cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever
shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

(486)Matthew
19:9  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
adultery. Romans 7:2-3  For the woman which hath an husband
is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the
husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man,
she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she
is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be
married to another man.

(487)Matthew
19:8-9  He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of
your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall
marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is
put away doth commit adultery. 1 Corinthians7:15 
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister
is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Matthew19:6  Wherefore they are no more twain, but
one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder.

(488)Deuteronomy24:1-4  When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and
it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath
found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of
divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go
and be another man's wife. 3 And if the latter husband
hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her
hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband
die, which took her to be his wife; 4 Her former husband,
which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after
that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the Lord: and
thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the Lord thy God giveth
thee for an inheritance.

(489)Ephesians1:10,22,23  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times
he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are
in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him. 22 And
hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over
all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the
fulness of him that filleth all in all. Ephesians 5:23,27,32
 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the
head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 27
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having
spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and
without blemish. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church. Colossians1:18 
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the
preeminence.

(490)1 Corinthians1:2  Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them
that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all
that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
both theirs and ours. 1 Corinthians12:12-13  For as
the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that
one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be
Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made
to drink into one Spirit. Psalm2:8  Ask of me, and I
shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost
parts of the earth for thy possession. Revelation7:9
 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man
could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues,
stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, and palms in their hands. Romans 15:9-12  And that
the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For
this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto
thy name. 10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles,
with his people. 11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye
Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. 12 And again,
Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise
to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

(491)1 Corinthians7:14  For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife,
and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were
your children unclean; but now are they holy. Acts2:39
 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that
are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Ezekiel16:20-21  Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and
thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou
sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a
small matter, 21 That thou hast slain my children, and
delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
Romans 11:16  For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also
holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. Genesis3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel. Genesis 7:7  And I will establish my
covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their
generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and
to thy seed after thee.

(492)Matthew
13:47  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that
was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind. Isaiah
9:7  Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be
no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it,
and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth
even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

(493)Ephesians2:19  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.
3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and
earth is named.

(494)Acts
2:47  Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And
the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then
gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Ephesians4:11-13  And he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till
we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of
the fulness of Christ. Matthew28:19-20  Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Isaiah59:21  As for me, this is my covenant with
them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words
which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth,
nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's
seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

(496)Romans 11:3
 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars;
and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what
saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven
thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Revelation12:6,14 And the woman fled into the
wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should
feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 14
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is
nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of
the serpent.

(497)Revelation2-3  (Read entire chapters).1 Corinthians5:6-7  Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little
leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore
the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For
even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.

(498)1 Corinthians13:12  For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face
to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am
known. Matthew13:24-30, 47 
Another parable put he forth unto
them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which
sowed good seed in his field:25 But while men slept, his
enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.26
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
then appeared the tares also,27
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir,
didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it
tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.
The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather
them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up
the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let
both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I
will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and
bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my
barn. Be
sure to insert verses 27-30 and drop etc. or &c.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net,
that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: .

(499)Revelation18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation
of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
unclean and hateful bird. Romans 11:18-22  Boast not against
the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the
root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were
broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because
of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not
highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the
natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which
fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his
goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in
heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your
Master, even Christ. 2Thessalonians2:3,4,8,9
 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and
exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God. 8 And then shall that Wicked be
revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth,
and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders. Revelation13:6  And he
opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name,
and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner
man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be
able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length,
and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ,
which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
fulness of God. John1:16  And of his fulness have
all we received, and grace for grace. Ephesians2:5-6

power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings,

edifying of itself in love. 1 Corinthians12:7  But
the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit
withal. 1 Corinthians3:21-23  Therefore let no man
glory in men. For all things are yours; 22 Whether Paul,

Christ's; and Christ is God's. Colossians2:19  And

everlasting. Amen. Psalm45:7  Thou lovest

kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated

washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of
reformation. 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept

sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 20 Saying,
This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

enter therein. 16 And he took them up in his arms, put

was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy
prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one
that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the
Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his
house, and to hear words of thee. 31 And said, Cornelius,
thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the
sight of God. 45 And they of the circumcision which
believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that
on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

iniquity.

3:5,8  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except
a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the

them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus

delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he
was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks,
he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken
for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same
manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is
the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in
remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread,
and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 1
Corinthians10:16,17,21  The cup of blessing which we
bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread
which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

all partakers of that one bread. 21 Ye cannot drink the
cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of
the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 1 Corinthians12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have
been all made to drink into one Spirit.

(540)Hebrews
9:22,25,26,28  And almost all things are by the law purged with
blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 25
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest
entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation
of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared
to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 28 So Christ
was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look
for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

(541)1 Corinthians11:24-26  And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and
said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do
in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he
took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new
testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in
remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread,
and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of
it.

(542)Hebrews
7:23,24,27  And they truly were many priests, because they were
not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24 But this
man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer
up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for
this he did once, when he offered up himself. Hebrews 10:11,12,14,18
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes
the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,
sat down on the right hand of God. 14 For by one offering
he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 18
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

the remission of sins. Mark14:22-24  And as they did
eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them,
and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 23 And he took the
cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all
drank of it. 24 And he said unto them, This is my blood
of the new testament, which is shed for many. Luke
22:19-20  And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and
gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this
do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after
supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is
shed for you. 1 Corinthians11:23,24,25,26  For I
have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That
the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said,
Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in
remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took
the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament
in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of
me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this
cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew
the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever
shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily,
shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But
let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh
unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning
the Lord's body.

(547)Matthew
15:9  But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men.

(548)Matthew
26:26-28  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said,

remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took
the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament
in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of
me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this
cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Luke
24:6,39  He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake
unto you when he was yet in Galilee. 39 Behold my hands
and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit
hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

(551)1 Corinthians11:28  But
let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup.

cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood
of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the
body of Christ?

and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself,
not discerning the Lord's body. 2 Corinthians 6:14-16  Be ye
not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship
hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath
light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the
temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them,
and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
people.

(554)1 Corinthians5:6,7,13 
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old
leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us. 13 But them
that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among
yourselves that wicked person. 2 Thessalonians3:6,14,15

Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh
disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

brother. Matthew7:6  Give not that which is holy

Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace

seasons. Hebrews13:7,17,24  Remember them which have

may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for
you. 24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and
all the saints. They of Italy salute you. 1 Corinthians

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

(556)Matthew16:19  And I will
give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever
thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever
thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mattew
18:17-18  And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto
the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto
thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18 Verily I say

many. 7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive

bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty

examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that
cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's
body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among
you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves,
we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we
are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the
world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together
to eat, tarry one for another. 34 And if any man hunger,
let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation.

may be ashamed. 15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but
admonish him as a brother. 1 Corinthians5:4,5,13  In
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together,
and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh,

elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to
consider of this matter.

shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers:

Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. 1
Timothy2:1-2  I exhort therefore, that, first of all,

priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment
of the Lord, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.

fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 10
And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell
in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and
commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that
they trespass not against the Lord, and so wrath come upon you, and
upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass. 11
And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of
the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of

officers before you. Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with
the good. 2 Chronicles29-30  (Read entire

of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders
about this question. 4 And when they were come to
Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and
elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the
whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch
with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas,
chief men among the brethren: 23 And they wrote letters
by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send
greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and
Syria and Cilicia: 25 It seemed good unto us, being
assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our
beloved Barnabas and Paul.

(562)Acts15:15,19,24,27,28,29,30,31
 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them,
which from among the Gentiles are turned to God. 24
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have
troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be
circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also
tell you the same things by mouth. 28 For it seemed good
to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than
these necessary things; 29 That ye abstain from meats
offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and
from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do
well. Fare ye well. 30 So when they were dismissed, they
came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together,
they delivered the epistle: 31 Which when they had read,

church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, That
if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they
shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in
heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together
in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone. Acts17:11 
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the

were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not
be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

made perfect. 2 Corinthians 5:1,6,8  For we know that if our
earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building
of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 6
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at
home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. 8 We are
confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and
to be present with the Lord. Philippians1:23  For I
am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be
with Christ; which is far better. Acts3:21  Whom the

tormented in this flame. Acts1:25  That he may take
part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by
transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. Jude 6-7

habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and
Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving
themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are
set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
1 Peter3:19  By which also he went and preached unto
the spirits in prison.

(569)1Thessalonians4:17
 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall
we ever be with the Lord. 1 Corinthians15:51-52 
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural
body, and there is a spiritual body.

resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation. 1 Corinthians15:43  It is
sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it
is raised in power. Philippians3:21  Who shall
change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his
glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to
subdue all things unto himself.

(572)Acts17:31  Because he hath

righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath
given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the
dead.

him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of
man.

not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to
this life? Jude 6  And the angels which kept not
their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved
in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great
day. 2 Peter2:4  For if God spared not the angels
that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into
chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment.

(575)2 Corinthians 5:10  For we must
all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad. Ecclesiastes12:14  For
God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Romans 2:16  In
the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ
according to my gospel. 14:10,12  But why dost thou judge
thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we
shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 12 So
then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Matthew12:36-37  But I say unto you, That every idle
word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the
day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be
justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with
him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate
them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the
goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand,
but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say
unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty,
and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee?
or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say
also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not
in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye
visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him,
saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto
thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say
unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye
did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into
everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Romans 2:5-6  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart
treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and
revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6 Who will
render to every man according to his deeds: Romans 9:22-23 
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known,
endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to
destruction: 23 And that he might make known the riches
of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared
unto glory. Matthew5:21  His lord said unto him,
Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful
over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter
thou into the joy of thy lord. Acts3:19  Repent ye
therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when
the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
2 Thessalonians1:7-10  And to you who are troubled
rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with
his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on
them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his
power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his
saints, and to be admired in all them that believe(because our
testimony among you was believed) in that day.

(577)2 Peter3:11,14  Seeing
then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of
persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be
diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and
blameless. 2 Corinthians 5:10-11  For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the
things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it
be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the
Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I
trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 2 Thessalonians1:5-,7  Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment
of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for
which ye also suffer: 6 Seeing it is a righteous thing
with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall
be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, Luke
21:7,28  And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall
these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall
come to pass? 28 And when these things begin to come to
pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption
draweth nigh. Romans 8:23-25  And not only they, but
ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we
ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit,
the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope:
but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he
yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then
do we with patience wait for it.

(578)Matthew24:36,42,43,44  But
of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven,
but my Father only. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not
what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if
the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would
come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house
to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in
such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Mark
13:35-37  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master
of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing,
or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you
sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all,
Watch. Luke12:35-36  Let your loins be girded about,
and your lights burning; 36 And ye yourselves like unto
men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding;
that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him
immediately. Revelation22:20  He which testifieth
these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord
Jesus
